Another inspirational movie about the power of music from Carney.

John Carney has carved himself quite an interesting Dublin-based, musical niche. The advice of "write what you know" can be controversial, but here is an example of someone who seems to have leaned into it and the results are consistently excellent. Flora is not the type of protagonist we see very often, with flaws prominently on display, but the writing and performance was nuanced enough to win me over. Not just to sympathize with her situation, but to cheer for her. The relationships are interesting, the dialogue feels real, and the story comes together in an unexpected way. The one thing holding the movie back for me was some pacing problems, as I felt like things were rushed in the back half. At only 97 minutes, it seems like there was room to let things breathe a bit more.

Down to Earth, yet uplifting, amazing John, shite!

Such a beautiful movie! I have rewatched it several times and every time I get that warm feel good feeling. Eve is such amazing actress and she deserves a great career. 10/10

Re-Watching this after 2 years. What a lovely movie which makes you fall in love with music and life once again. It definitely hits different for people who are involved in music
