Charming, Heartfelt and Uplifting Coming of Age Gem

Rating: 10/10 (20 October 2019)

This movie is just perfect. A charming, heartfelt, and uplifting coming of age story that will leave you motivated to fulfill your dreams. Ferdia Walsh-Peelo gives a genuine performance. He is a sweet, naive, and rebellious boy. Lucy Boynton is so beautiful and mesmerizing in the movie that you wouldn't be able to take your eyes off her. Her character is well written and given depth. Conor's big brother, played by Jack Reynor is great. He is supportive, helps him to create good music, and wants best for him. The rest of the characters are also very well written and acted. The direction is impressive, and the movie never feels boring. The screenplay written by John Carney is outstanding and genuine.
The best thing about the movie is the songs. Inspired by the music of Duran Duran and The Cure. All the original songs performed in this film are amazing. Some will fill you with joy, and some will make you emotional. The story, the characters, and the songs will keep you hooked to the screen. Definitely, worth a watch.
