Sing Street (2016)

Director John Carney of the film Once and Begin Again fame, returns with another charming film, focusing on a bunch of teenagers in 1980's. We follow Conor who's parents are going through a rough time in Dublin, financially and emotionally. One of the consequences financially is that he's sent off to a different school, a lower class all-boy school called Synge Street. Conor doesn't start off so well, being different, but everything sort of takes a different turn when he finds another like-minded soul who in turn leads him to a girl - possibly the girl. It's like every 80's flick you've ever known, the sort of familiar trail of "boy sees beautiful girl whom he's desperate to impress".

Conor confidently asks her to star in his bands music video, except, he's not got a band.

It's effortlessly charming, besides being hilarious, as you see the band change their style, especially Conor. He's repeatedly changing throughout the film, donning makeup, dye, and various cringeworthy hair styles that are clearly a homage to the various popular bands back then. Well worth a watch, especially for the excellent soundtrack, original tracks and all.
