" Director: John Carney His 7th Movie My 3rd movie watched from the director. A thoroughly enjoyable movie that gifts its viewer with a lovely range of entertainment, providing a lovely range of feels. It's impossible not to have cliches in band origin movie, but this one makes you forgot about all of them. The characters are properly flawed and likable.
