Musical dramas tend to oversaturate stuff and bore the audience with the long musical numbers. However, Begin Again is a carefully composed musical drama, with infectious earworms and emotional moments spread throughout the movie accordingly. Most of the musical number is meaningful and contributes something to the character development. Keira Knightly deserves points for at least try to sing, her voice may sound robotic at times but soothing nonetheless.
Every movie has its flaws, and this movie has some. There are several plots that were unnecessary, weird pacing, and predictable finale.
Overall, it was executed well and definitely one of the strong contenders in the musical drama genre. Perfect for a movie date.
