Great music but the story ain’t all that. Play teenage kicks or alternative ulster again and I’ll bump it up half a star.

back when biopics didn't make you exhausted, lots of heart! - his silly smile throughout the first 30 mins kinda pulls it all together
fun and campy editing, and all the better for the chaotic but grounded vibe to describe the troubles backdrop (that sentence was awful)
there's a small 20min dip in the third act, so it hurts the momentum, but they stick the landing in the end
it's the year of irish music movies (sing street) - first on my list of irish movies to watch while in belfast

No, Dave. Not the whole point. Money couldn't buy what we've just done.
Hell yeah. The tunes in this are INSANELY good man genuinely. it's just bop after bop after bop. And the messages in the film are still cutting deep as I write this review. I don't think I'll stop thinking about Terri for a good while
