	Author	Review
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"John Carney's let's-make-a-band formula once more yields winning results."	POS
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"It's crowd-pleasing, heart-warming, hits all the right notes, and is eager to please."	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"The songs are delightful, and the heady scent of youthful nostalgia proves enticing."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	Sing Street is the most romantic movie you'll find anywhere these days, brimming over with music, fun and the thrill of first love (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman 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. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"Carney’s film (...) is mad, irrepressible youth incarnate, by turns as exuberant as “The Commitments” and (nearly) as heartfelt as 'Once' (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS

United Kingdom	Rupert Hawksley Telegraph	"A delightful coming-of-age tale that both celebrates young love and laments how quickly the fire of youth can be snuffed out (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
