Inspired by writer/director John Carney's life and love for music, Sing Street tells the story of a 14-year-old named Cosmo growing up in 80's Dublin who must break free of a home strained by his parents' relationship and money troubles, deal with his drop-out older brother's antics, and survive a new public school where the kids are rough and the brothers are tougher. Cosmo writes a song, forms a scrappy band with some school mates, writes more songs, and shoots some wicked music videos. How to shoot pop videos in a recession ridden country? Beg, borrow and steal. And steal.But when he realizes he can't save his family, he must make a family of his own.

Sing Street Reviews

“Carney has managed to show all of the melancholy and loneliness of youth, but has counterbalanced it with so much joy and enthusiasm that you'll be left reeling.” – The Skinny

“If there were an Oscar for capturing the alchemy of composing songs on screen, it could only go to Carney.” – Flicks.co.nz

“Carney's cap­tivating combination of catchy songs and compelling characters is so charming you won't want it to end. Surely set to be one of the films of the year.” – WOW247
