Begin Again Reviews

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..

Begin Again (7.8/10) is a wonderfully optimistic and heartfelt ode to the power of music. The film is anchored by the charming chemistry between Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo, and features a fantastic soundtrack.

The story is witty, warm, and intelligently structured, exploring themes of artistic integrity, heartbreak, and creative rebirth. The film's use of real New York City locations adds to its authenticity, and the original music is phenomenal.

While the plot is somewhat predictable and a few characters feel one-dimensional, Begin Again is an absolute delight—a smart, funny, and deeply moving film that celebrates the magic of creativity and collaboration. Its soundtrack is irresistible, making it a modern musical drama that will leave you smiling.

I LOVE ITS MUSIC❤️

it’s not my type of movie also i hate james corden and adam levine, so… yeah

Romantic comedy?? This isn’t a romantic comedy… drama with hints of comedy would be the description I’d give. And zero romance… like… I couldn’t even tell who the romantic leads were. I thought it was Kiera and Adam, then Kiera and Mark? (yikes), and then she ends up with no one

Fun music movie with some touches of romcom

beautiful

The movie will always have my heart.

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.

Phenom! Amazing really

amazing cast for like a very mid movie they heavily rely on the concept of musical artistry in like such a weird way but ending was super well done

1/10

Der Film hat mir sehr gut gefallen, da er einen andern Stang folgt als die meisten „romcoms“.
Und die Intimität mit jemanden Musik per aux zu teilen ist leider eine ausgestorbene Praxis, wofür ich der weiterentwickelten Technik nicht dankbar bin.
Unerwartet bekannter cast.
