WHEN DREAMS MEET REALITY...!

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2018)

What a beautiful feeling it is when you follow your dreams... Sing Street follows this maxim to its fullest as a notion takes shape in the form of a band during the 80's music vid heyday in Ireland. As his world crumbles around him, his parents are breaking up, navigating a new school replete w/bullies & despotic Catholic figureheads, our hero, w/the unflinching support of his stoner brother, starts a band w/a bunch of fellow pariahs hoping just to shoot a music video to impress the older girl who has caught his eye but what he gains is self-confidence, wisdom beyond his years & also a knack for writing catchy songs. Not a bad trade-off for this heartwarming, inspiring yarn that tickled me delighted & left me w/a healthy dose of nostalgia.
