[SLO]

Glasbeni film Sing Street pripoveduje zgodbo petnajstletnega Conorja (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo), ki živi na Irskem v 80. letih 20. stoletja. Starša ga zaradi finančnih težav prepišeta iz zasebne šole na javno. Tako se mora deček prilagoditi na novo okolje, hkrati pa se sooča z morebitnim razpadom svoje družine. Kmalu se zaljubi v nekaj let starejšo Raphino (Lucy Boynton), in da bi nanjo naredil vtis, s pomočjo novih sošolcev sestavi glasbeno skupino. [Cinemania group]

[ENG]

In 1980s Dublin, 14-year-old Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) is looking for a break from a home strained by his parents’ relationship and money troubles, while trying to adjust to his new inner-city public school where the kids are rough and the teachers are rougher. He finds a glimmer of hope in the mysterious, über-cool and beautiful Raphina (Lucy Boynton), and with the aim of winning her heart he invites her to star in his band’s music videos. There’s only one problem: he’s not part of a band…yet. She agrees, and now Conor must deliver what he’s promised - calling himself “Cosmo” and immersing himself in the vibrant rock music trends of the decade, he forms a band with a few lads, and the group pours their heart into writing lyrics and shooting videos.

*************

He’s no Vincente Minnelli in the visual storytelling department, but no 21st-century filmmaker has a more intuitive understanding of movie-musical construction than Irishman John Carney. After “Once” and “Begin Again” both beautifully unpacked the narrative nature of the songwriting process, he’s back at it with an added dose of 1980s childhood nostalgia in “Sing Street,” a heart-melting adolescent romance that gives teenage garage bands everywhere a better name. Perched on a tricky precipice between chippy kitchen-sink realism and lush wish-fulfilment fantasy, this mini-“Commitments” gets away with even its cutesiest indulgences thanks to a wholly lovable ensemble of young Irish talent and the tightest pop tunes — riffing on Duran Duran and the Cure with equal abandon and affection — any gaggle of Catholic schoolboys could hope to write themselves. Given the right marketing and word of mouth, this Weinstein Co. release could “Sing” a song of far more than sixpence. (Guy Lodge, Variety)

[RT Critics Consensus]
