Sing Street (2016)
Coming of age wallflowers make catchy music.
Presentation:
Wallflower loser nerd in Britain makes a band to impress girl next door of his dreams. This premise alone has a very clear audience, which ends up being quite endearing actually with a decent score on par with La La Land. Schoolboy delinquency, bullying, hipster, rejection, the whole lot ensues, but it's a pretty good time nonetheless. Music is pretty catchy.
Conclusion:
Pretty big heart and not too much hand-holding. This film fulfills some of the childhood dreams we've had as boys also personified by the elder brother. A decent flick that should speak to dreamers not corrupted from their springtime of youth.
