Musiker Märchen
cinegeek.de - wrote on 03/20/2016
Der Ire John Carney, der die ganze Welt mit seinem sensationellen Musiker Märchen aus Dublin überraschte, ist zurück! Wieder bietet er eine platonische Liebesgeschichte, die um die Idee angelegt ist, eine Schallplatte an verschiedenen belebten Orten in New York aufzunehmen. Mit seinen unvergleichlich sympathischen Schauspielern ist ihm der diesjährige Summer-In-The-City Wohlfühl Hit gelungen! Eine Frage am Rande aber sei erlaubt: Weshalb müssen Filme über Musiker immer so schlimme Musik enthalten? Keira Knightley spielt eine pathetische Songwriterin, Adam Levine von Maroon 5 ihren schäbigen Exfreund - einen Musiker, der jetzt Schmusepop macht.

Not a bad word about the acting skills of Keira Knightley, but the moment she starts laughing, I feel shivers going down my spine. And she laughs a lot in this film. The choice of Mark Ruffalo as the quarreling …

'Begin Again' has a premise that could've easily turned into a fluffy predictable story. Thankfully, the outcome is the opposite. Many scenes bypass instances for usual cliches. There is much more emotional involvement with the characters, most of which comes out in the music. The movie captures the essence of songwriting. The situations that inspire the songs within the film come from an honest place. Those songs also happen to be terrific! The two main characters (played by Ruffalo and Knightley) have a wonderful shared creative experience. This brings them both out of their current ruts in life and reinvigorates them towards happiness. It left me with a warmhearted feeling of ease and a want for upbeat musical fun. An enjoyable watch for anyone (especially musicians). What …
