Begin Again (2013)


IMDb plot summary: A chance encounter between a disgraced music-business executive and a young singer-songwriter, new to Manhattan, turns into a promising collaboration between the two talents.
Directed by John Carney. Starring Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo, James Corden, and Hailee Steinfeld.

This was apparently directed by the guy who did Once, which I totally get. The music is less interesting and the story less strong, but it's got the same kind of charm. And this may be the most I've ever liked Mark Ruffalo in a movie.

3.5 stars.

How it entered my Flickchart:
Begin Again > Ghostbusters (1984)
Begin Again < Chariots of Fire
Begin Again > At First Sight
Begin Again > Husbands and Wives
Begin Again > Rogue One
Begin Again > Finder's Fee
Begin Again > La jetee
Begin Again < Gone in 60 Seconds
Begin Again < The Impossible
Begin Again > The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness
Begin Again < The Butler

Final spot: #686 out of 2675.
