When it opens, things are not going well for teenager Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo). This rock ’n’ roll fantasy, set in Dublin in 1985, will leave you feeling as warm as a gorgeous pop song, and nostalgic for that time in your life when discovering new music that sings to you is the most important thing in the world. So it’s nice to see Carney return to something lower-key with his new movie, “Sing Street.”
#HERSHEYS GOT RID OF THAT WORTH IT SONG MOVIE#
The movie featured real movie stars and an acting turn from Adam Levine, the Maroon 5 frontman who is one of the most popular pop stars on the planet.īut it felt worlds away from “Once,” and while pleasant enough, it also seemed slick and overproduced, like a sophomore album from a band that had surprising success with its debut. It’s a soft-spoken achievement, earning the Best Original Song Oscar for the film’s two stars, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, and was eventually adapted into a Broadway show.Ĭarney returned to theaters in 2013 with “Begin Again,” another musically themed film, this time set in New York City. The sweet Irish fable is about a down-on-his-luck busker and a Romanian immigrant who come together and make beautiful music. John Carney’s 2007 film “Once” was a refreshing surprise.
