Filled with the liberating jubilation of making music...

Piffle, really, with guitars.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 27, 2016

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 11, 2016

Sing Street takes its inspiration from the music and movies of the '80s, tapping into nostalgia for the time with its messages about self-expression.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 2, 2016

Sing Street is a pleasing, heart-warming journey with a tight screenplay and a strong soundtrack.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 15, 2016

Sing Street is a shaggy, uneven, but undeniably endearing and entertaining film, especially if this was the music of your childhood, as it was mine.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 13, 2016

If anything, it's even better than The Commitments because it doesn't go in for the slick manipulation associated with that film's director, Alan Parker.

Carney nails every quirky detail.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 22, 2016

I laughed, I cried, I bought the soundtrack album.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 22, 2016

For at least half its running length Sing Street is tremendous: a coming of age story set in early 80s Dublin that has the comic poignance and truthfulness of a Gregory's Girl or a Son Rambow.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 19, 2016

A delightful coming-of-age tale that both celebrates young love and laments how quickly the fire of youth can be snuffed out.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 19, 2016

Like a great pop song, this film is over much too soon.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 19, 2016

Like a tie-in soundtrack album in search of a movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 18, 2016

As a testament to the power of music, the bond of brotherhood and the boundless possibilities of youth, "Sing Street" just plain works.

| Original Score: A- | May 6, 2016

The film captures the earnestness and the silliness of the boys' efforts, but also how little that matters when you're discovering what it feels like to create something.

| May 4, 2016

With its intriguing characters and exhilarating music, "Sing Street" is the best film about being young, gifted and Irish since "The Commitments."

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 29, 2016

Just as with Once and Begin Again, Sing Street will make you laugh, cry and leave you humming its songs for days.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 28, 2016

A delightful film that is almost impossible to watch without a smile on your face.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 28, 2016

As long as Sing Street stays on this sweet, sentimental path, the film is an agreeable toe-tapper.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 28, 2016

Carney has an uncanny way of telling a story through music. "Sing Street" reminds us of being young and lost in a song, realizing with a jolt that someone else had the same feelings we did.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 28, 2016
