John Carney’s best film from 2016 is a pitch-perfect coming of age story full of inspirational sing-along moments.
It’s the typical plot of a teen outcast with a troubled home life that starts a band in Ireland to get the girl. What starts as a love story about a repressed youth fighting against the establishment quickly transcends genre trappings by becoming a thank you letter to older siblings.
During a time when we all feel stuck “sheltering-at-home, here’s a film that is so full of hope to break free, get the girl and once and for all…figure out the “Riddle of the Model.”
