Critics reviews. SING STREET. John Carney Ireland, 2016.That moment-in-time backdrop is essential to the wonderful "Sing Street", a movie about escape, identity, dreams vs. reality, young love, and music (and because this is 1985, it's also about that new-fangled mind-blowing innovation called a "music video.") John Carney has a humorous and loving eye for detail, an intuitive ear for dialogue, and the film is extremely personal in a way that is universal.
Coastal locations serve as symbols of hope and escape, particularly in Conor and Raphina's relationship. Visual and Cultural Elements The film's visual style captures the essence of 1980s Dublin, with its fashion, slang, and cultural references. The dark, old-fashioned classrooms of Synge Street represent the oppressive educational environment.
