I really loved this movie and wholly recommend it. The original music was *actually* good and easy on the ears which is necessary for a musical experience. All the characters were likeable, even if extremely crass. Flow of story was satisfying, moved along and got to the point. Felt some actual emotions watching it. I was a little disappointed that the love story didn't materialize more in the end. I was ready to throw the whole son away in the beginning but the movie redeemed him and the mother by bringing them together with music which is just really special. So I was focused on the wrong love story. Really beautiful.

I almost didn't watch this because of the reviews but I'm glad I did. This is a totally different look at the romantic comedy genre . Eve Hewson is incredible as Flora the mother with a big heart and lots of raw talent. Jospeh Gordon Levitt is a revelation as The love interest showing us a side of him that we never knew existed. The whole movie is very light hearted and doesn't take itself seriously but is a joy to watch . This movie has feel good is spades. I loved the characters , the story and the music. No doubt Ms Hewson will go on to much bigger things after this and it's hard not to cheer her on. She has never used her family connections to forward her career which is admirable . There are some good performances from The supporting cast but the the two leads steal the show.

First of all don't go with the average rating because the movie is way better it deserves at least 8. And now let's talk about the movie. In today's era the relations have become fragile and this movie shows a very important but delicate relation between a young mother and her son. There are so many romantic moments in the movie that will keep you smiling throughout the movie. The Music is it's heart and it's Damn good. This movie has handled mother-son relation in such a delicate way that it can be watched just for that aspect but there are so many things such as online guitar class which have motivated me to learn guitar as well. All the actors have played their part brilliantly. If you are a cinema lover or someone feeling low and confuse in life. This movie has all the answers for you just give it a watch. You'll definitely thank for recommending this.

John Carney who brought us the excellent Sing Street (2016) and the lovely Once (2007,) gives us another cracking musically centred tale around single mother Flora and her teenage son Max. Eve Hewson is fabulous as Flora and young Oren Kinlan is perfect as Max. There's also a lovely performance from Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jeff, Flora's guitar teacher. There's elements of whimsy, romance, social realism, comedy and eclectic music thrown in along the way. Whilst some of the plot towards the end seems a little far fetched overall this is an enjoyable and life affirming film that deserves a wide audience.

"Flora and Son" is a demimusical directed by John Carney, featuring Eve Hewson as Flora, a single mother in her 30s. She is a thief and rapper with her ex, Ian, and their 14-year-old son, Max. Flora's charisma is evident as she wishes Max would be kidnapped, but the audience still supports her. As a birthday present, Flora gives Max a junked guitar, which he is unimpressed by. The film showcases Hewson's exceptional charisma and the challenges faced by a single mother in her early 30s. The film's montages are sloppy, with a hip-hop video featuring Max cut to make us laugh rather than share online. The buildup to the climax is rushed, and the final shot implies that music belongs to everyone. Carney's performance of Joni Mitchell's song, Flora, is delicate and beautiful, revealing that not everyone can be a professional artist, but we can all welcome art into our lives. The film's delicate scene with Flora's performance is a testament to the power of music. Irish filmmaker and songwriter John Carney has been known for his sincerity and earnestness in his films, such as "Once" and "Flora and Son." Carney's latest film, "Flora and Son," features a talented cast including Eve Hewson, the daughter of U2 frontman Bono. Hewson plays Flora, a young Dublin mother yearning for more, with a mischievous charm and raw vulnerability. She also has a gorgeous singing voice, which may be due to her Irish heritage. Carney's films often feature catchy tunes, making them relatable and heartfelt. The film's success is attributed to its catchy and poignant tunes. "Flora and Son" explores the power of music and songwriting to transcend geographical and emotional boundaries. Carney explores this theme in his work, allowing Flora to connect with Jeff, an escapist fantasy from her Dublin life. They strum and sing together in her kitchen and park, with Carney providing frank notes on his songs, allowing them to traverse oceans and continents. Carney's films, like "Flora and Son," blend magical realism and fantasy, creating a sense of interconnectedness. The film explores the relationship between Jeff and Flora, while also focusing on Flora's responsibility, family, and son. The film's open-hearted nature is fueled by Carney's sincere emotion in songwriting and filmmaking, with the original songs co-written by Scottish musician Gary Clark. The script is typically Irish, filled with playful jabs and crude humor. The performance of Jennifer Hewson is a standout, providing a perfect balance of sweetness and sourness. Despite the potential for cheesiness, Carney's films are incredibly emotional and irresistible, making them a must-watch for fans of Carney's work.

Happened apon this film. Love a Dublin movie. And being in Griffith park was the bonus. From the outset showed a very real view of some peoples lives in Dublin. Focus on a struggling mother and son. Trying to find middle ground and rebuild a relationship from anger. I can relate. Loads of fabulous faces and a lovely warm feel to this movie. It's a must watch. Sometimes a real movie is what you need. The lead actress was very good. I probably am aware of the director. I can't recall right now. I'm going to hunt down the films. And watch a few. All over good movie. Terrible enjoyable. Can recm.

I really liked this movie but it is no "Once." Still it touched my heart on many levels. The relationships and the music seem apropos for the these times. Good character development and good music. A much needed break from all the violence and chaos that seems to permeate modern cinema. Plus, it is shot in Dublin. It brought back memories of my visits to that fine music city. Bono's daughter is a strong actress with a bright future. You may be annoyed with her at first...she is pretty unlikeable...but that is the point. It is about redemption, and starting your life again. We are never too old to learn new tricks.

Bono and his wife Ali Hewson didn't necessarily want their daughter to be a "performer," but she is definitely that-with bells on. And who would know the city of Dublin, Ireland, better than she would? She was born and grew up in Dublin, then moved to NYC to attend NYU (and now lives in Brooklyn). John Carney, this movie's Irish writer/director, also made the outstanding 2007 film, "Once," which is also about musicians and is set in Dublin. Carney and Hewson are almost uniquely suited to make a movie about these relationships (romantic and/or familial) in the capital city of the Republic of Ireland, and here's another from Mr. Carney and company: Flora & Son. It's not quite as strong as "Once," but I'll grant it an extra star for the performances by the leads, Eve Hewson & Joseph Gordon-Levitt (playing her online guitar teacher in L. A., of all things!). Despite both their innocent intentions, they start to enjoy the chemistry in their long-distance relationship. They play a pair of people, broken in some ways by the nature and failure of their biggest dreams (one as a professional musician and a wife and mother to musicians) to work out as they had hoped. The relationship between Ms. Hewson as Flora and her son "Max" is particularly problematic, as he has grown up living part-time with both parents and feeling a bit estranged from each of them (and getting into some trouble). I can only imagine that many children of divorce must be able to relate to this. (My own story was of a father who left before I was born.) Despite being a bit less good than 2 previous films by Mr. Carney, I believe that this one is worth your time watching for Ms. Hewson (and for Mr. Gordon-Levitt), so I'll give it 7/10.

We don't all speak like that. The accents in the film are authentic (or incredibly good recreations) of a certain type of Dublin accent. There are two types; the posh, 'talk through your nose' type, and the type in this movie. The rest of Ireland finds both types very, very annoying. I can't imagine what an international audience thinks of it. That aside, the movie isn't great. Not even good really. The runtime isn't very long, best thing I can say about it. If you're really curious, watch the trailer and use your imagination to fill in the blanks, you won't be far wrong. Some of the cast was okay, but the main characters were pretty weak, lines were either delivered flatly or way overacted, no middle ground. Wouldn't watch again, wouldn't recomment. Just some mediocre content for Apple to put on their streaming service.
