Really love this movie! I saw it many times. Great acting. Great story.

I'm glad the story wasn't cheapend by making Ruffalo's and Knightley's characters get together.

A sweet, soft movie which you can watch pleasantly and without getting bored. Interesting plot, approached quite emotionally and humanly by John Carney. Keira Knightley who rarely leaves us less than amazed by her acting skills is the most significant element of the movie with her elegance and sweet English accent, while Mark Ruffalo as a master in his field gave a satisfactory performance. The participation of Adam Levine also gave a quite useful note to the film in order to be nearer to the whole concept. Although things were depicted a little idealized at certain moments, the film as a whole was realistic but hopeful and optimistic as well. It puts the emphasis on how people who love something can help each other in order to achieve their goals and get closer to the ones they love, always with great effort and self- respect. It teaches us never to quit, never to be desperate because change takes only a second to occur and totally alter our life.

This movie shows how the two main characters, Greta and Dan, become to be able to "begin again" through the music and the inspiration they share with one another. Both characters had been hurt by their old "love", but this becomes a turning point for them, through a series of coincidences. This lets both of them to find their dream again and overcome their past.The overall aura (of the city and the music) and the insight that the movie permits is remarkable, although, I wish that the story and the characters should have been developed further. Some people even say that the movie is only a series of music videos that lacks detail in the construction of the plot. This makes the movie quite boring in some parts that don't have music. However, it didn't bother me so much, since it had a short running time, and the movie was enjoyable for the most part, including all the heart-warming songs and a great ending.
