Retro Movie Review – Sing Street

admin — Tue, 05 May 2020 16:19:29 +0000

Getting the chemistry just right, Sing Street’s look at the eighties through the eyes of teenager Conor ‘Cosmo’ Lalor is a delightful trip down memory lane. Cosmo, played by the fresh-faced actor/musician Ferdia Walsh-Peelo is a marvel at getting the nuance just right as he morphs his look and mannerisms to reflect his favourite band of the moment.

The songs his band (made up of school mates) come up with are classics in encapsulating the musical trends of the moment. In this context you are never disappointed at the stops the band arrives at or the resultant hairstyle, Robert Smith I’m looking at you. Add in some teenage love angst and you have an all round good time. Pokemon Go

The film pivots around its musical numbers and here casting someone who can actually sing and play gives the proceedings a realistic edge sadly missing in a lot of movies about music. The songs chosen are also key indicators of the emotional state of the key characters.

The end is naff with an unbelievable scenario and final resolve but then when has teenage love both real or imagined been anything other than unbelievable. If you came of age in the eighties, see this at once, if not all those crazy stories your olds told you might make a little more sense.

Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury.

Freddie defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound. They reach unparalleled success, but in an unexpected turn Freddie, surrounded by darker influences, shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career.

Having suffered greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages to reunite with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid. While bravely facing a recent AIDS diagnosis, Freddie leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. Queen cements a legacy that continues to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.

Bohemian Rhapsody stars Rami Malek, Lucy Boynton, Gwilym Lee, Ben Hardy, Joseph Mazzello, Aidan Gillen, Tom Hollander, Allen Leech, and Mike Myers and is in cinemas November 1, 2018!
