Begin Again (out Aug 14) doesn't feel as authentic as director John Carney's last major film (Once) but it's still a satisfying tale about a struggling record producer (Mark Ruffalo) who teams up to budding song writer (Keira Knightley) to create something fresh. Enjoyed the split narrative in the opening hour. Nice supporting cast too. Grade: B+.
