set in Dublin in 1985 Sing Street is a loving homage to the '80s, full of in-joke references to the period, its music and fashion. Conor is a new kid at an inner-city school who gradually plucks up courage to talk to beautiful Raphina, a model preparing to move to London. He asks her to be in his music video - only problem is, he's not yet in a band. The film is a funny, boisterous and joyously uplifting treat.
