Sing Street (2016)

FILM4, 9.00PM ★★★★

Young love is set to an Eighties beat in this delightful coming-of-age tale. As with all of John Carney’s films (i.e. 2006 hit Once), the message is clear: where there is music, there is hope. The film rattles along to a cracking soundtrack – The Jam, Motörhead, The Cure – as young Conor (Ferdia Walsh-peelo) chaotically tries to put together a band to impress a girl at school.
