Movie reviews: Sing Street, Zootropolis, High-Rise

Sing Street 4/5

Set in Dublin in 1985, Sing Street (12A) stars Ferdia Walsh-Peelo as Cosmo, a teenager struggling to cope with the emotional and financial changes caused by his parents’ (Aiden Gillen and Maria Doyle Kennedy) straitened circumstances.

Desperate to establish a new, cool identity when he is sent to the inner-city school at Synge Street, Cosmo asks Raphina (Lucy Boynton) to star in his band’s music video — neglecting to mention that the band is a figment of his fertile imagination.
