Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Kenneth Turan (2,323) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 30 Jun 2014

Even if Dan and Gretta charm each other more than they charm us, the music they make is harder to resist than they are…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Lamontraymond (377) on 27 Jun 2014

This one left me flat. It doesn't hold a candle to the filmmakers previous work Once, which had so much feeling and soul to it…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Susan Wloszczyna (541) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 26 Jun 2014

With its cast of extremely likable performers, the perfect summer-in-the-city backdrop—in this case, New York — and a soundtrack stuffed…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 26 Jun 2014

Most of the music is by New Radicals frontman Gregg Alexander, and it’s heartfelt without ever really touching the heart…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for TheWrap (3,203) on 25 Jun 2014

Begin Again is as uncynical and unironic a film as I've seen in a while, which will no doubt be a turn-off to many…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Claudia Puig (2,080) for USA Today (4,117) on 25 Jun 2014

Ruffalo and Knightley make an engaging pair of colleagues and their musical adventure together results in an enchanting, gently funny and occasionally…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 25 Jun 2014

It's rare to find a movie that uses music to define love without sentimentalizing it…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Tasha Robinson (753) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 25 Jun 2014

Begin Again is all about the untrammeled joys of music, but like a hit pop song, it works better in the emotions than it does through any close…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Keith Staskiewicz (60) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 25 Jun 2014

Once was a small and well-loved heirloom, its imperfections part of the charm. But Begin Again has been burnished to a shiny dullness…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By A.o. Scott (2,100) for The New York Times (9,847) on 25 Jun 2014

Compared with “Once,” Begin Again is a bit like the disappointing, overly produced follow-up to a new band’s breakthrough album…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Elizabeth Weitzman (1,905) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 25 Jun 2014

Knightley does fine work, but she’s been miscast. Her innate sophistication undermines the movie’s intentions right off the bat…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for McClatchy-Tribune News Service (291) on 24 Jun 2014

Writer-director John Carney re-plays his greatest hit with Begin Again, a semi-successful attempt to recreate the magic of the Oscar-winning…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Andrew O'hehir (1,324) for Salon (312) on 24 Jun 2014

This film is never less than pleasant to spend time with, and that’s not a minor consideration when it comes to summer moviegoing…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 24 Jun 2014

True to its title, Begin Again periodically restarts itself, nestling flashbacks within flashbacks; it’s an unnecessarily complicated structure…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Kyle Smith (1,916) for New York Post (6,650) on 24 Jun 2014

If “Once” was a bracing blast of cool spring water, Begin Again is a can of Fanta. If “Once” was a piano, Begin Again is a keytar…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Rex Reed (1,506) for Observer (1,042) on 24 Jun 2014

The lugubrious pop songs by Gregg Alexander are execrable. Ms. Knightley isn’t remotely believable as a bike-riding pop singer…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 23 Jun 2014

All that prickly inner conflict Ruffalo is so adept at suggesting…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Keith Uhlich (870) for Time Out (7,510) on 23 Jun 2014

False moments far outweigh the genuine ones, be it smarmy Dan’s indisputable genius (he’s such a stubble-sporting rebel, he refuses to…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By Ian Freer (515) for Empire (3,446) on 22 Jun 2014

Begin Again is a joyous movie about the good things in life: love, family, relationships, New York, creativity and music…

Review of Begin Again (2014)

By David Lee Dallas (23) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 22 Jun 2014

It's a film that lives in the high and not in the comedown, even though its characters are often stalled and wallowing…
