John Carney, the masterful hand behind the grounded romantic musical Once from 2007, strikes again with his latest film, Sing Street. 

The straight-forward romantic comedy formula gets woven through a unique window of being on the wrong side of the tracks in 80s Dublin and it really makes for something undeniably charming. Stellar performances from the ensemble cast really make Carney’s diegetic musicals work. 

Also, Sing Street’s journey through 80s music and fashion balance well between poking fun at the trends of the time and non-ironically celebrating them.

If you’re in LA, this is where you can go see Sing Street right now.
