Check Out 'Sing Street' The Irish Film Taking Sundance By Storm

The latest film from 'Once' writer/director John Carney has opened to rave reviews at the Sundance film festival in the USA.

Conor is a 14 year old growing up in recession riddled 1980's Dublin when his parents move him from the comfortable surroundings of his private school to an inner city public school. It's there that Conor forms a band to try and win the affections of the mysterious Raphina; initially by convincing her to appear in their music videos.

It looks excellent, boasts some big names in the form of Aidan Gillen and Jack Raynor and has a whopper 80's soundtrack...what more could you want!? We can't wait to see it.

Yep, #SingStreet is swell. John Carney has a musical trifecta on his hands. Can't wait to see it with a Dublin crowd. #Sundance
