Sing Street

[JNeffLind]

I just saw a movie on demand called "Sing Street." It's an Irish movie about some kids forming a band in the eighties and was really well done. Great as a date movie or just to see on your own like I did. As someone who spent years in the Hollywood trenches dealing with tons of shit scripts and films I can wholeheartedly say this film excels on every level. Check it out.

One of those few movies that was hitting on all cylinders. Nice to see there are still some artists in the world of film.

yeah, i recon we are lucky if half a dozen decent films get released a year these days, and thats coming from a person who watch's a lot of international cinema also. so much of what comes out of hollywood just seems like a waste of resources imo. the amount of films that i lose interest in after 15 minutes or have to try and watch multiple times in order just to finish grows bigger every year lol, maybe im getting old and im just less tolerant of mediocre rubbish these days ?

Hollywood is driven by starpower and production value before story. Story should be number one priority, but it basically never is. This is why indie films so often shine. They can't afford starpower or production value, so they have no choice but to put the focus where it should be.
