Sing Street, while not telling a tale that could be labeled as anything close to original, still crackles with an innovative vitality all its own, making its climactic leaps into the starry-eyed unknown all the more wonderful because of this. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 2d

...a fun, energetic endeavor that benefits substantially from its catchy songs and raft of charming performances... Go to Full Review JD Duran InSession Film 08/08/2024
“Drive It Like You Stole It” should win the Oscar for Best Original song. It’s such a catchy tune that also plays well into the film thematically. Not to mention, the scene it is used in is arguably the best individual scene of 2016. Go to Full Review Brendan Cassidy InSession Film 06/18/2024
Throw in a slew of catchy songs, and a brotherly bond between two characters that will stand the test of time, and Sing Street sings beautifully. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

rich k Mar 15 Fun , 80s nostalgia, for anyone who played an instrument in school or didn't, but liked 80s music. A film with a nice plot and a very uplifting finale which is rare in most films today. See more Shioka O @RT54204327 Jan 4 It's so cheesy but don't be serious, it's for easy watch. Music score is purely 80s UK See more Thomas S @RT53929595 Nov 8 Watched this right after coming back from a trip to Dublin — perfect timing. Sing Street is an excellent coming-of-age story about the importance of perseverance and chasing your dreams. The soundtrack is absolutely incredible. See more David C @David617 Aug 14 La trama es muy buena es una buena está para ver la en familia y está entretenida See more Patricia C @RT06675934 Jul 28 One of the best feel good movies out there. Have watched it so many times. As a child of the 80s it truly resonated. The story is amazing, the songs are amazing, the cast is amazing (and very talented, some of them have never acted before!), a must see! You won’t be disappointed! See more Jey D @RT38386868 Jul 16 An absolute gem of a film that blends heart, comedy, sadness and sensational original songs to moving, joyous and endlessly rewarding effect.
