If 80s nostalgia is calling to you, you will love this movie! One of the best independent films to come out of 2016, “Sing Street” is a coming of age movie that blends Irish scrappiness with rock music in a joyous melody of angst, passion, unrequited love, and escapism. We watch as one young man – intent on impressing a young woman – invents a band and spins up a hype cycle complete with costumes and music videos. You can’t help tapping your feet to the original song, “Drive it Like You Stole It” and rooting for the band to make it big. Watch out for the ending, the irrepressible hope sneaks up on you (with a tear or two) but more like a wind in your sail and less of a knock-you-off-your-feet!
