Begin Again

On the quest for great, authentic stories, the next in line is Begin Again, starring Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo. I enjoyed Once and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, but as far as stories about musicians, this is one of my favorites. It's raw, original, heartfelt, comical, and worth another shout-out. It plays on some realistic life moments and succeeds well. I'm no film critic, but I enjoyed the path against adversity, the shallowness success can do to people, and the integrity to stand by what you believe in. All in all, these elements make a solid, top-notch tale of relationships, hardships, overcoming adversity, and, of course, great music.
