Review of Sing Street (2016) by Aaron K — 31 Jul 2016
When I first read about this show being set in the 80s with a great 80s soundtrack, I was sold cause I love everything 80s, But watching it , I realised it was even more. It wasn't just a happy , ha-ha-ha movie that you watch and walk out. it was very well directed and produced and the cast was excellent. the details with the VHS video, the happy-sad Cure like song, a link to the iconic Back to the Future movie, the family problems, the know it all brother who just couldn't move forward...and then you have this innocent bunch of kids just performing these really good songs. The movie totally brings you back to those care-free, fun and colourful days of the 80s - where of course there was much more optimism compared to the crazy things that are happening in the super fast paced world these days . It was also extremely inspirational with the ending and the song that came along with it. Its not a high budget movie but it manages to capture so many emotions. the young cast incredibly manages to capture the essence of the 80s on point (Esp the lead actor) the life that happened 30 years ago. Just amazing. getting the DVD, OST everything.
A must watch.
