Review of Sing Street (2016) by Brent_Marchant — 29 Apr 2016
A charming, funny, coming of age period piece about a hopeless romantic teen who discovers talents he never knew he had as he woos the object of his desire. This finely produced feel good offering both inspires and tugs at the heart strings, but it successfully resists the temptation to become schmaltzy or cliched.
The film also deftly spoofs the early days of music videos, mimicking their unapologetic silliness but without going over the top in doing so. To be sure, the picture could have used a bit more back story and greater character development among the supporting players, but, on balance, "Sing Street" never fails to entertain.
A raucously fun time at the show.
