Sing Street, while not telling a tale that could be labeled as anything close to original, still crackles with an innovative vitality all its own, making its climactic leaps into the starry-eyed unknown all the more wonderful because of this.

Rated: 3.5/4

“Drive It Like You Stole It” should win the Oscar for Best Original song. It’s such a catchy tune that also plays well into the film thematically. Not to mention, the scene it is used in is arguably the best individual scene of 2016.

Throw in a slew of catchy songs, and a brotherly bond between two characters that will stand the test of time, and Sing Street sings beautifully.

One of the best feel good movies out there. Have watched it so many times. As a child of the 80s it truly resonated. The story is amazing, the songs are amazing, the cast is amazing (and very talented, some of them have never acted before!), a must see! You won’t be disappointed!

One of the most pleasing movies I’ve seen in a long time. The cast play their roles to perfection, the music is fantastic, and the story pulls you in from the start all the way until the credits.

Sing Street is an absolute joy to watch. It's been a long time since I’ve felt so uplifted and entertained by a film. The music, the characters, and the heartfelt story all come together perfectly to create a feel-good experience that sticks with you long after the credits roll. It's a charming and fun ride from start to finish, and it's hard not to smile throughout.
