About this movie

SING STREET takes us back to 1980s Dublin where an economic recession forces Conor out of his comfortable private school and into survival mode at the inner-city state school where the kids are rough and the teachers are rougher. He finds a glimmer of hope in the mysterious and über-cool Raphina, and with the aim of winning her heart, invites her to star in his band's music videos. She agrees, and now Conor must deliver what he's promised – calling himself "Cosmo" and immersing himself in the vibrant rock music trends of the '80s, he forms a band with a few lads, and the group pours their hearts into writing lyrics and shooting videos. Combining Carney's trademark warmth and humour with a punk rock edge, and featuring a memorable soundtrack with hits from The Cure, Duran Duran, The Police, and Genesis, SING STREET is an electrifying coming-of-age film that will have you dancing in your seats! 2015 Cosmo Films Limited.

Ratings and reviews

I had heard all the positive reviews of this movie 🎥 but was disappointed with the picture over all, it is funny and there are some class scenes u can get if u grew up in the 80s but overall I give it 5 outa 10

Although the plot is familiar, the film more than compensates for that with it's Irish charm, fascinating facts about the 80s, powerful performances and fun songs. Drive this film like you stole it!

Great original music, good performances combined with a warm and funny script that elevate the standard teen awakening plot. As others have commented, it's utterly charming.
