One of the biggest crowd pleasers screening at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival is John Carney's Sing Street, about a kid from Dublin in 1985 who decides to start a band in order to woo his dream girl. Once again, Carney (Once, Begin Again) delivers a deliciously sweet and funny movie that's stuffed with great music - and, in my opinion, his best music yet.

Featuring music from Duran Duran, Genesis and the Cure -- not to mention several original songs, most notably the insanely catchy "Drive It Like You Stole It" and "Brown Shoes" -- Sing Street delivers a familiar coming-of-age story (boy falls for older girl with boyfriend) that's infused with memorable characters, a unique setting, adorable nostalgia and an immense amount of '80s spirit. 

Sing Street is about how much of our hopes, fears and dreams are shaped by the first person you fall in love with. How they inspire us, in good times and in bad, to grow up and take charge of our future. The costume changes are hilarious (the band tends to dress like the singers they're currently obsessed with) and the Back to the Future references are plentiful (and meaningful).

If you love '80s music and especially charming coming-of-age tales, then Sing Street may become an instant classic to add to your library.

Following the film's screening at Sundance, its Irish stars Ferdia Walsh-Peelo and Mark McKenna performed a couple of songs from the movie. There's a lot more to come -- hands-down this is going to be one of the year's best soundtracks -- but this should give you a tiny taste of what to expect.

And for more, here's the first trailer.
