Sing Street (2016)

In 1980s Dublin, Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) is sick of his troubled home life and experiences being bullied at his strict Catholic school. The one positive is his crush on the cool girl, Raphina (Lucy Boynton). To impress her and escape his day-to-day struggles, Connor forms a band with a group of similarly misfit friends. The titular band draws inspiration from the era's biggest acts — Duran Duran, The Cure, and The Jam — to create a nostalgic and eclectic sound that permeates most of the film.
Perhaps overshadowed by director John Carney’s previous hits (Once, Begin Again), Sing Street remains criminally underrated, never gaining the same mainstream traction despite arguably delivering the filmmaker's most charming and heartfelt story. Its overly saccharine elements and naive optimism are soon forgotten thanks to the way its uplifting narrative pairs flawlessly with its irresistibly catchy soundtrack. It's not exactly among the greatest musical movies of the new generation, but it's undoubtedly an enchanting one that delivers humor and heart.
