Sing Street: Entertaining.

Rating: 9/10 (12 July 2016)

John Carney's movies are always nice. He does with musicals what Richard Curtis (Notting Hill, About Time) does with sophisticated comedies: he revitalizes the genre. He writes (and directs) musical films made of good ideas, beautiful people, catching tunes and not-stupid romantic stories (check 'Once', 2007 or 'Begin Again', 2013).
Sometimes the outcome is a big hit ('Begin Again', 2013), sometimes a less inspired production. Sing Street is a nice movie, that introduces a very talented actor and singer (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) and gives the beautiful Lucy Boynton (also probably previously unknown to greater movie audience) the chance to play a major role.
The story is rich of events, the characters are nice and the songs are good (and well produced). And the result, once more, is entertaining.
