Sing Street

— A captivating coming of age film set in 1980’s Ireland. There’s a kind of free-flowing energy throughout this thoughtful look at first love, brotherhood, the resiliency of the human spirit, the choices available to youth, and the possibility of greatness. With plenty of music and humor, this film’s bittersweet storyline and toe-tapping enthusiasm made it a joy to see.
