Sing Street
by manz
A delightful film! Set in 1985 Dublin, the coming-of-age Sing Street is ripe with adolescence and dreaming big. Fourteen year old Conor is sent to a new school due to family money problems, and he encounters a slew of new woes himself, from a mean head-master to bullying. Enter the beautiful Raphina. One look at her and Conor’s heart is done with. He quickly needs to form a band to impress her. With a misfit crew of new band-mates, an older brother who schools him in the finest 80s Duran Duran, The Cure and Hall and Oates, Conor is on his way to self-discovery and fulfilling newfound dreams. The film is a pleasure to watch, and the band’s songs are a hit.
The film has been on many year-end best-of lists for 2016, and is nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy.
