Theodore C Absolutely loved. John Carney can do no wrong and knocked it out of the park once more Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Mike J I love it when a director lets their actress let their freak flag fly. Hewson is magnetic and insane. And Gordon-Levitt is adorable. When Hewson asks him to take off his shirt, the audience is right there with her. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review Nic S Flora and Son centers around a heartwarming story of how a young mom and teenage son reconnect through creating music together. This film kind of acts as an origin story for their band. The performances, heralded by Ewe Hewson, are so natural that these characters feel like people I can just come across to on the street. It’s relatable, flawed and human. We don’t necessarily like the characters we meet in the beginning, but as they grow incrementally, we end up rooting for them. The film feels like it was made in such a genuine space, truly aiming to showcase this simple story in the best way that it can. I also love how music was such a character in this movie, with each song composing an extra layer of detail and storytelling to how the character is feeling or emphasises the depth in a scene. Flora and Son can also be a lot of people’s first look into Irish film, learning about the jargon and culture in a laid back, ingrained way, was pretty cool. I walked out of the movie feeling good and healed - that relationships can be mended as we can even find the smallest things to connect with one another, and that’s a great starting point. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Daniel B An original, feel good, unrealistic movie whose message is music heals everything. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Jack M This movie was amazing the character development especially between Max and Flora (his mother). It was such a a feel godod movie. Great work done by the director. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has or hasn't seen Sing Street. It was such a good movie. And the fact it's set in Dublin as well is great as I'm from Ireland so it was seeing such an imperfect place of Dublin look oddly beautiful. Great casting and the music was good, however it was missing a big song like "drive it like you stole it" from Sing Street how ever the ending song was very good Max's rap was absolutely brilliant. Loved the movie well deserving of my 5 stars. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review matthias s John Carney has done it again! Always a fan of his work, and *Flora and Son* hits all the right notes (pun intended). It’s such a heartwarming and charming story about a mother trying to connect with her rebellious teenage son. Watching their bond grow through music was so beautiful, and the songs? Incredible. Every track felt meaningful and added so much to the story. It’s not just about the music, though—it’s about how music brings people together, how it heals, and its importance in our lives. I had a smile plastered on my face the entire time. It’s got the perfect mix of laughs, heartfelt moments, and, of course, amazing tunes. The film was incredibly captivating and honestly a pleasant surprise. If you’re into music dramedies that make your heart sing, this one’s a must-watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
