Sometimes a film sneaks up on you and is so enjoyable, so feel good that you forget everything else that's going on in your life and just enjoy it.
For me that's what 'Sing Street' did. I'd seen and enjoyed Carney's film 'Once' and loved the music but disliked his other film 'Begin Again'. 'Sing Street' though is on another level.
It's got a great story, the characters are identifiable, and each of the songs sticks in your head.
Whereas 'Begin Again' seemed to get bogged down by bad language and ex references, here Carney goes back to the basics of 'Once' - characters, stories and music. It's a perfect combination.
I cannot recommend this film highly enough. As the final song says, go on.
