    Begin Again

    ★★★★½

    With an incredibly likable cast, a wonderful sense of charm, and an amazing soundtrack, "Begin Again" completely lived up to my expectations, and delivered on that "movies about music" film that I was really looking forward to.

    One of the best things about the movie, right off the bat, is the entire cast of the movie. The standout in this movie is, without doubt, Mark Ruffalo. Whenever Ruffalo is in a scene, he completely commands the screen with such an…

    One of the most heartbreaking, emotionally captivating, and just flat-out honest movies I've ever seen in my life.

    The screenplay is nothing short of brilliance, thanks to Spike Jonze and his vivid attention to every single detail of the script: beautiful dialog, fantastically fleshed-out characters, and an honest story. It's also unique, creative, and original. It's not only the best original screenplay of 2013, it's the best overall script of 2013, and in my opinion, the best screenplay of all…
