Rated PG-13 · 1h 46m
Conor's life is unsteady at best; with his family facing hard times, he has to move to an inner-city school and face a new social scene. Conor quickly falls in love with the mysterious Raphina and tries to impress her by boasting about his band...that doesn't exist yet.
WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?
So exuberant and joyful, you really feel Conor falling into his creative process. The music from this movie was the soundtrack to my junior year of high school.
Such a fun movie filled with incredible music and an emotional core of family at its center. If you have a brother, either younger or older, this film will hit you like a punch straight to the gut—in the best possible way.
