This is my favorite movie, the most inspiring movie ever. I like the spontaneous acting, looking so realistic. I love how Dan watches Violet, i like how friendship between Gretta and Steve is shown, love that scene when Gretta react when Den says ''she is English girl''.I love how Dan deals with his life's problems.. Den is a key character in the movie, so lovable person. A songs in this movie was amazing, one of the best movie soundtracks ever. Every actor in this movie is well-chosen, there is no space for mistakes. My music movies list be: ''Begin Again'', then ''Almost Famous'', then ''Rock Star'', but only ''Begin Again'' is about music I'm listening to. My recommendation for this movie,John Carney knows his job ;) watch, listen, love <3

I can sum up the movie in two words: nothing special. First of all, Keira Knightley is annoyingly out-of-place as a supposedly "girl-next- door" character. In spite of this, I thought her chemistry with Mark Ruffalo was fantastic and the scene in which they walk the streets of New York at night was intimate without a hint of romance which is rare. But the movie was marred with clichés - the tough kids on the street demanding cigarettes in order to shut up for five minutes of recording music were seen joining in background vocals; a supposedly "terrible" guitar-playing girl turns out to be terrific at the end of the forcibly "feel-good" movie; for no good reason at the end Ruffalo is seen fleetingly returning to his wife who cheated on him while he suffered a nervous breakdown - which was an interesting yet unexplored subplot. Knightley has a beautiful voice but the guitar playing is meagre; the songs are fairly good but ultimately forgettable. Adam Levine was a bit of a love-rat bore. The celebrity cameos from Cee Lo Green and James Corden were as annoying as they were futile. I wouldn't particularly recommend this movie but I wouldn't say I hated it. It was just average.

A lovely, warming tribute to all those (hundreds of thousands?... millions ?...) of artists, musicians & composers, blessed with that wonderful God-given true gift of deep understanding and sensing of music... and who, however, don't quite 'make it' in this business... Firstly, the music score is awesome, you just have to listen and you're hooked forever... The growing chemistry between Ruffalo & Knightley characters is sweet and helps the plot to overcome some inevitable, typical clichés. I'm not at all a fan of movies about musicians and bands, but this one is absolutely nonesuch thing. It simply is a movie about friendship, trust and what human inter-relationship should be about. Setting is also excellent. Dear Scarlet J, sorry but... opportunity missed...
