For all the doubters out there, take note: Knightley can sing.June 27, 2016
It hits the sweet spot of love's tortures and love's ability to heal with overly cutesy situations and its fair share of laughs.July 12, 2014
The wholesome, hopeful, let's-put-on-a-show enthusiasm may sound hokey but it's actually infectiously joyful. At the same time, Carney roughs up the edges just enough to make this fairy tale seem somewhat accessible and realistic.April 09, 2016
The authenticity that was in inherent in "Once" is lost here on a cast of movie stars, and the music isn't quite good enough to elevate a cloying screenplay.July 11, 2014
Begin Again is a not-entirely-successful movie about not selling out; it's a theme that must concern Carney deeply.July 14, 2014
Another sappy but engaging musical fable from the Irish writer and director John Carney, who made "Once."July 10, 2014
Can a meaningful glance mean as much as a kiss? In this film, it can, and that's enough.July 11, 2014
This soulful outing is sure to please music lovers. And isn't that everyone?July 26, 2016
It's in parts painfully earnest, never more so than when Ruffalo sees instruments come to life while Knightley plays alone onstage, but it moves along at a nice clip and the recording scenes are shot well.January 14, 2015
Begin Again is a delight, not only because of its infectious musical vitality but because it follows the unexpected forks in the road.July 16, 2014
The trouble with this movie -- aside from its lack of visual wonder and musical shape -- is that you don't trust its priorities.April 13, 2016
Begin Again is the best sort of summer movie, with great performances and a solid core. It's clearly a work that comes from love shared by people who enjoyed making it, and that makes it fun for us to watch out in the audience, too.
