Theodore C Absolutely loved. John Carney can do no wrong and knocked it out of the park once more Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Matthew J Brilliant, really enjoyable. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Jace E I love Sundance Film Festival! As a fan of Sing Street, I was excited when I saw that John Carney's latest film was playing in Park City. The experience of watching the film with the director and cast in the room was phenomenal. Carney is a masterful writer/director, and I am continually drawn to his storytelling. The performances in the film were equally strong with Eve Hewson crushing her role and forming a chemistry-fueled bond with Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It's hard to separate the film from the experience. The finale was a little jumbled and lacked closure in certain aspects. During the Q&A, Carney said that this film was a dedication to mothers (similar to how Sing Street was "for brothers everywhere"). Knowing that, my perception of the film's ending changed. The music was not as strong as his previous films, but it was still a solid movie. Best Character: Flora Best Scene: Rooftop Duet Additional Note: I wish that I could download the songs and listen already, but that will have to wait until the film is released. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Ian M Apart from some excellent sequences between Hewson and Kinlan, this film is an absolute cheese fest best suited for the Hallmark Channel. Shocked by the positive reviews. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Darren C Another gem from John Carney, possibly his finest yet. If you are familiar with his movies you'll know the deal, real life, dreams, crushing reality, self discovery, epiphany moments and most of all it's all about the music. There is a danger with these themes of being too saccharine and schmaltzy but he escapes these traps with endearing characters who you want to succeed with their choices especially when the world seems to be against them. Eve Hewson provides plenty of sass delivering some classic lines with sardonic wit and unflinching honesty. Some of the dialogue between Jeff (her transatlantic hunky guitar teacher) and Flora has you laughing and cringing in equal measure. The Irish street scenes are a joy as ever certainly rivalling Sing Street. A triumph for music and humanity. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Patrick D 3.75. Carney excels at sweet mostly-feel-good comedies with music at the center. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
