Sing Street (12A)
Directed by John Carney
5/5

THE inspiration of music, first love and the endless possibilities lying ahead when you are young are captured superbly in this charming and nostalgic crowd-pleaser.

Set in 1980s Dublin, John Carney’s semi-autobiographical drama centres on 14-year-old Cosmo (a phenomenal Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) who, to escape family strains and hideous school life, decides to form a band with other school misfits.
