There is nothing not to like in this movie. He is pretty funny and light headed, it has tones of charm and great cast and director, but also has a roof glass which it cannot break. This is the destiny (at most of the times) of cute movies with musical instruments in them.
It has a profound subject and even several of them, but they are all flying away near the main issue of the movie - create a pleasant atmosphere for the audience, which will be able to leave the theatre (or at this case of Apple TV: the couch) with a heart worming feeling.
Flora, which is played by Eve Hewson (U2's Bono's Daughter and a rising actress which probably will shine brighter after participating at this film), is young mother to a 14 years old raging teenager. She tries to find herself and her missed youth and prevent him from entering Juvie. The location is Dublin and her Ex-husband leaves nearby.
The suffering of Flora doesn't seem real, as I saw it, but l let myself dive into this small-time production and wait for JGL (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) to appear as her online guitar teacher, which she will later on have a crush.
The movie is too short to create any dramatic effect, but the music is moving and the actors are pretty good with covering up a lazy script of John Carney (who likes the genre of light-headed comic-drama with music as a bridge between people).
I really wanted to love this movie over my head, but it didn't give me any reason to do it, but still... I ended up with a good feeling, which all of us needs on these days and for that it is truly a movie that most of viewers, which appreciate the genre cannot choose to forfeit.
