Sing Street

Last decade, filmmaker John Carney brought us the softly bittersweet folk musical Once, with its now-famous song "Falling Slowly." This decade, he was back with another under-the-radar musical, this one a slightly more hopeful but still rough-around-the-edges coming-of-age tale about an Irish boy who starts a band to impress a girl he has a crush on. It's charming, heartfelt, and wryly funny, and it gleefully embraces its 1980s setting with a clever, obsession-worthy soundtrack. Despite its huge heart and endless charm (and a Golden Globe nomination), Sing Street still largely went unnoticed. But its journey isn't over yet — in late 2019, an off-Broadway musical adaptation arrived in New York City, with rumours of a Broadway transfer swirling around the production!
