the perfect duo

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2015)

Music is such an important part of film the right score can be the difference between making a good movie and a great one. Begin again starts with the music and never lets go of it. The story and characters journeys are told through the Music more so then any of the dialogue. When a film relies so heavily on it's music that music had better be something special. In this respect begin again succeeds it's original songs strikes just the right cord. Keira knightly performance in front of the Mic is a testament to her talent as an artist. Adam Levine brings a seasoned singer to the fold and his strength as an recording artist is clear to see in the final moments of the film. Mark Ruffalos performance as the down and out producer trying to find something real to hold on to is brilliant. Ruffalo takes a situation of a man taking one last chance to succeed and makes it feel fresh and unique. Begin again will leave you feeling good and remind you not only why you love movies but why you love music too.
