Attention Music-loving New York freaks! A good film you must watch!

Rating: 7/10 (8 January 2015)

Begin Again is what you would call a "good" film. just good and nothing more. The story of a chic British girl with a unique music talent and a messed-up but somehow genius New York music producer filmed with a cool "New York" theme will amaze any one with a keenness towards New York. You probably have seen a lot of "New York"s in this review so far, but this is how New Yorkish the film actually is! Of course if like me your utopia is New York then you would be just fine, but the emphasize on the city theme might actually wear the rest down.
The gathering of good and some great songs in the film with just a brush of style and chicness of characters might just be what you need to watch this film; but surprisingly it has more to offer! The insights given on relationships might be one of its strong suits. Take the father daughter relationship portrayed in the picture; It is not following any of the clichés you are seeing in the films these days, It's actually quite more realistic and believable.
Begin Again is a story about second chances. without getting into details, (but of course you can get this from the title, duh!) you are going to see a different take on a lot of things where you haven't seen much before and I think you are going to be wooed that way.
I am sure no admirer of this picture would want to read these, but the film has some flaws also. The desperate film references made in the beginnings of the film mixed with the "Lost in Translation"-like vibes it's trying to send is actually not working. Add this to the plot holes you're easily going to figure out and it might actually lose some marks! Hats off to Keira Knightley, but I can't think of Mark Ruffalo as the cool hip hop or punk or pop music producer, he is more of a Justin Bieber kind of a guy to me!
But all in all, I would say this sentence one more time: Begin Again is a good film and I think a lot of New York freaks or music lovers are going to enjoy a film like this.
