  • Description: Sing Street is laden with melodramatic elements: a marriage disintegrating against the background of a national economic crisis, a vicious priest who beats up a boy, a wayward teenage girl with an institutionalized mother and a sexually abusive father, even a reckless emigration on a leaky motorboat. Each new song, influenced by that week's offerings on the hit show Top of the Pops, occasions a new band style, as the boys cycle through glam and pop and punk.
