Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 5216243, member: 1414"] [B]Sing Street[/B]. Irish film about a teenaged boy Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) who is part of a struggling family in Dublin in the 1980s. Some name cast members here. Jack Reynor is superb as his older brother Brendan, down on his luck, but very much serving as brother and father figure for Conor. Due to financial issues, Conor gets sent to a new, free Christian Brothers school, where he's bullied and the principal is a bully as well. After a beating, Conor spies a pretty older girl, Raphina (Lucy Boynton). Trying to get the nerve to talk to her he asks if she'll be in a video for his band. She asks him to sing (A-Ha) and he gets her number. Now he needs a band and he and a friend start to create one. Along the way he learns the ways of women from Raphina and his brother, and also matures and learns to stand up for himself and gains confidence. It's a coming of age musical romance. Really solid cast, the original songs are mostly quite good. Miss Boynton is usually blonde, but not here and I really don't think I've ever seen a better representation of what I would have viewed as the ideal woman around 1984. The hair the eyeliner, she just nailed the look and performance. Recommended. [ATTACH type="full" width="568px"]107632[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
