Wow. What an absolutely beautiful film. It is so simple. It is about teenagers in a band. But the humor is so well-timed, and the music so...awesome...that it is a real pleasure to watch. I only heard about Sing Street because of its Golden Globe nomination (which it completely deserved) and didn't watch it on Netflix until well through 2017. I regret not seeing it sooner.One of the great parts of Sing Street is that the teenagers are actually played by teenagers, not 20 year-olds pretending to be 14 (cough cough Spider-man). They're really believable kids, and just so likable. Their personal stories are interesting and the way they see the world is fascinating to experience. It all feels very real.Sing Street also has an INCREDIBLE SOUNDTRACK that compliments the story so well. Up is my favorite.Jack Reynor totally deserved his Irish Oscar. He was such a REAL older brother. I did it again, and said how real it felt. That's part of the beauty of the film. It just feels real. But back to Jack Reynor. I didn't know him from anything else, but he was so good in this that when I first saw his face as a racist cop in Detroit (a SUPER intense film) that I actually laughed. Thanks Sing Street.Must see film. Just bunny stuff.
... View MoreI was surprised at how much I enjoyed this film. I rooted for the main character from the start. Really captured the angst of being a teenager and the transformation and power one can achieve through creating. Despite some sexual references, drug use and bad language, I think it is fine for all ages.

Music is a beautiful thing and this film shows an example of how it cannot be repressed or contained, how it is a tool for reforming people, and coping with situations.And art is an attractive thing. Finally, Rest in peace to Vera Nwabuwe who played Ngig's mum. I was sad to find out she's passed in real life <3
... View MoreAs a beautiful movie, to achieve dreams, that's fine. Now, as a film in itself, cinematic, it is a little scarce. It's nice, but little else.The director does not know how to finish it, the end is a little I want and I can not, when you see that it's coming, you start to ask yourself. See how you're going to do it? And for my pleasure I do not know how to take it.While it is true that there is a sequence that I will explain in the spoiler zone, I almost get something I have always wondered how you could roll well, like saying that dreaming is bad because then comes the sad reality.The actors are all very well. The romance between the two is beautiful, although I think it would be better if I had not managed to conquer it. For my taste is spent in the locker room, but you can accept.Photography, no big deal, is a white camera video and does not care much.The direction aside from not knowing how to finish it and not know how to do a staging and not know how to take advantage of the concert moments to make beautiful plans that accompany the splendid soundtrack. But at least he likes to see her. You are drawn to the story.He has a music, which is the best thing unlike the movie.Spoiler: In the sequence of the concert at school, when he starts to dream, it almost gives you the feeling that it is bad to dream, it lacks a little rise and fall of blow but it is quite well achieved.
