Begin Again

i loved the scene where dan and gretta were listening to music while walking around the city, and the line “one of the most banal scenes is suddenly invested with so much meaning” is so so true when you’re listening to music

I love everything about this movie

I didn’t know what I was going into but I ended loving this movie so much. I’m kinda biased because it involved music but it just shows how music can connect people in a beautiful way. I’m gonna write more..

didn’t like the ending tbh

The least punchable James Cordon has ever been in… well, anything ever. So there’s that!

First 30-40 minutes are rough, and I honestly nearly checked out. After that though, there’s a really genuine, upbeat story of creativity and passion that felt really special to watch. It’s endearing and makes you smile, having you bop your head to this song you’ve never heard, but feels like you’ve heard a hundred times - it’s great.

Keira Knightley has never been great, only good - and she’s good here too, a surprisingly good singer, if it is her singing. Mark Ruffalo is brilliant, not a pair I’d have put together, but the chemistry between the two as leads was palpable and you felt this love of music through them. Adam Levine… much to my surprise not an abhorrent actor.

Regardless of how good the end chunk of this film is, it doesn’t take away how dull and poorly put together the first act was. A shame - but one I’m glad I persevered with.

A fun a lite hearted drama which had a kind a f perfect and wholesome story.
