Begin Again (2013)
A film by John Carney
An unlikely friendship develops between struggling music producer, Steve (Mark Ruffalo) and brokenhearted songwriter, Greta (Keira Knightley), as they collaborate to create new music.
Begin Again possesses the charm of an equally interesting narrative and musical score. Carney (Once) has once again, presented his refreshing take on musical romance. Although nothing exceptionally bizarre has been showcased in the film, its rejection of the genre's triteness makes Begin Again definitely engaging and entertaining. The beginning of the narrative takes quite a slow-pace, but it somehow helped the film to further express its authenticity. I like how it simultaneously shows rawness and classic feel-good moments. Likewise, the vocals provided by my ever favorite actress, Keira Knightley was a perfect match for the film's stimulating music, adding a different but more comforting atmosphere. Aside from the evidently natural chemistry of Knightley and Mark Ruffalo, Maroon V's front man, Adam Levine surprisingly made his role worth his mediocre acting. Overall, it is genuinely satisfying.
