Begin Again - 12/07/2014
A chance meeting between a drunk, passionless music producer and a lonely, heartbroken singer songwriter sparks a lovely story of people trying to find their passion again. Be it, writing songs from the heart or finding that spark for new and inspiration music.

Begin Again stars Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo as the aforementioned hopeless people lost in New York. The night they meet in a small open mic club Mark has been fired from his music production company, divorced from his wife and estranged from his only daughter, Keira has just finished a five year relationship with pop star sensation boyfriend who found love from his assistant whilst on a trip to LA.
What could have been a run of the mill romantic story based in New York, Begin Again takes a route of musical passion, loving what the performers actually do with their music and how to make it real. James Corden comes along for the ride and has some great scenes with Keira.
I left the cinema with a smile on my face similar to that of chef, knowing I had enjoyed an easy to watch film with a good soundtrack and beautiful vista's (including Keira) just this time the passion was music not cubanos.
It had a little reminder of the commitments to it, but no where near as much soul.
An enjoyable film
