A teenager starts a band in 1980s Dublin to impress a girl and escape the tension at home. Sing Street was released in 2016.
It is joyful, scrappy and full of songs that feel like small acts of self-invention.
What makes Sing Street a strong choice tonight is not simply the premise, but the way it gives that premise room to gather force. It rewards an uninterrupted watch, when its tone and rhythm can do their work.
Choose it when you want a film with a clear point of view rather than something to half-watch. Save it now, then come back to PLOT with the scene, performance or feeling that stays with you.
