Sing Street

Dublin, 1985: Miserable with his transfer to a rigid Catholic school, teenager Cosmo (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) thought he could hook up with aspiring model Raphina (Lucy Boynton) by offering to make her the focus of his band’s new video. After that, he had the small challenges of learning songwriting--and forming a band out of his skeptical new classmates. Another exploration of music’s uplifting power from filmmaker John Carney co-stars Maria Doyle Kennedy, Aiden Gillen, Jack Reynor, Mark McKenna. 106 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
