Consequence
Few films are ever as enjoyable and endearing as Sing Street. - 83
The Playlist
What makes Sing Street such a joyously entertaining film (besides the songs) is that it thinks the best of its characters, and it presents them the way they’d like to think of themselves. - 80
The Guardian
Did you like The Commitments? Did you like We Are the Best!!? Well, Sing Street isn’t as good as either of those two, but it’s still pretty terrific. - 80
New York Magazine (Vulture)
Sing Street is far more boisterous and certainly funnier than Once, but it remains in a minor key; “finding happiness in sadness,” is how one character puts it. - 80
Time Out
Like an updated The Commitments in rouge (liberally applied), Sing Street nails the details. - 80
Variety
The truest and most tearduct-tugging relationship here is that between Conor and his lank-haired college-dropout brother, played with spaced-out warmth and wistful good humor by the ever-likeable Reynor. - 75
The Film Stage
While Sing Street is often infectious its its scraggly energy, one wishes Conor’s other band members were slightly more fleshed-out, which would make their already-absorbing performances sing even more. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
The young nonprofessional actors are a fresh, natural bunch, even if the bandmembers might have benefited from more individual character development.
