Sing Street (2016)

Sing Street

Sing Street is a warm, music-driven coming-of-age tale set in mid-1980s Dublin. Fifteen-year-old Conor, uprooted to a harsh new school and struggling with a tense family life, becomes smitten with a mysterious girl named Raphina. To win her attention he invents a band, then scrambles to assemble a group of misfit friends and teach himself songwriting. As the boys develop their sound and shoot homemade music videos, Conor reconnects with his older brother, finds his voice, and learns what growing up—and falling in love—really means. Watching Sing Street you’ll get swept up in bright, catchy 1980s pop energy, playful DIY music sequences, and tender, funny scenes that balance teenage awkwardness with genuine heart. The film mixes infectious songs and stylish visuals with bittersweet emotional beats: expect laughter, romance, nostalgia, and a satisfying sense of hope as the characters discover creativity and courage in the face of ordinary pressures. It’s ideal for anyone who loves music-led stories about identity, family, and first love.
