SING STREET

A boy growing up in Dublin during the 1980s escapes his strained family life by starting a band to impress the mysterious girl he likes. —IMDB

An absolute gem. This a wonderful, moving story that is more about two brothers than it is about a romance between boy and girl. It’s pretty deep but never loses its optimism. It’s about finding happiness in sadness (in the words of one of the characters). The acting by these young people is excellent and a feel-good soundtrack will have you tapping along.
