Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2014)

"Begin Again" is one of those heart feel type movies that after you watch you will feel refreshed and uplifted. True it's a drama that blends emotion and starting over in life when your down in the dumps, but hey a lot of people have had to do that at some point or the other. Set in New York city it follows the life of Dan(Mark Ruffalo) who's an alcoholic and a washed up past his prime music executive. And Dan has plenty of problems he's divorced from his wife Miriam(Catherine Keener)and even though he has a daughter he sees this little miss Violet(the up and coming Hailee Steinfeld)is a head strong and easy sexy colored bra wearing young lady who likes to march to her own beat. Anyway by a chance encounter Dan meets Gretta(Keira Knightley)who's a young singer who's going thru a struggle after her now famous boyfriend has left her to sing on the big stage. Soon it's evident that Dan sees talent in Gretta and one by one beautiful music is made together the tunes are different and maybe low key yet it strikes a winning note thru emotion and love. Overall this film isn't about a musical score it's about starting over in life with the right tune thru different notes a different voice and different playing instruments.
