Fiona敬淇 Y One of the worst films I've ever seen. Ruined my night. Extremely disappointing. First of all, as a "comedy", it is not funny. And as a romantic film, it's not really romantic. Also, the music is not that good to be completely honest. The actors are amazing I do love their performance, it's just the storyline is way too dry and dreadful. Please do not waste your time to watch it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Sasha L Begin Again is a heartwarming and uplifting film that beautifully captures the transformative power of music and human connection. Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo deliver captivating performances, portraying two lost souls who find solace and creativity in each other during their lowest points. The film’s simplicity is its strength—telling a heartfelt story of redemption, second chances, and the magic of collaboration without ever feeling forced or overly sentimental. The soundtrack is a standout, with Knightley's surprising musical talent shining through in beautifully written songs that stay with you long after the credits roll. The music feels authentic, and the rawness of the street performances throughout New York City adds a unique and intimate charm to the film. Director John Carney does an excellent job balancing humor, emotion, and inspiration, making Begin Again both a feel-good movie and a poignant exploration of life's ups and downs. It’s a perfect pick for anyone who loves music, second chances, or just a well-told story about finding hope in unexpected places. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Daniel G Just one of those somewhat conventional movies about the music business and breakthrough artists and broken hearts that just hit the right tone for us, with lovely songs, competent protagonists and great dynamics - with a touch of past/present in the beginning that didn't overstay its welcome. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/04/24 Full Review Ravenswood R It is really frightening that so many people like this movie or the music contained within. I am a medium level musician, no big talent, and I can prove to anyone at any time that I can write songs exactly like the ones in this movie 10 times a day with no effort whatsoever. It is completely formulaic, idiotic lyrics, three chord commercial garbage. The story is absurd, the dialogue is inane. This movie is so dumbed down and reading comments here is making me realize that as dumb as I am I must be way smarter than I think. This movie is entirely idiotic on every level. People, I am so sorry but if you find this to be quality entertainment, you are a blockhead. But you're probably happy. NYC on location shooting gives it an extra half star. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review KB B This was such an exceptional movie with great acting and storyline. Mark Ruffalo was excellent as usual. The ending was such a nice twist. It's definitely worth the watch. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Conrad C A good movie with a spectacular soundtrack, "Begin Again" commits to original music and authentic performances. This movie is unafraid to tell this story in the way it wants, drawing out certain scenes and performances longer than necessary, but if you're engrossed than you don't mind. In a movie with a lot of music, I would not have objected to hearing even more of Keira Knightley. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
