keira knightly- "Begin Again and The imitation game

I've seen both and keira is certainly more stretched in "Begin Again" where she had to sing. "Begin Again" is certainly my favorite movie of the year and is the work of John Carney of "Once" fame. It is too bad that these types of movies don't get consideration by the Oscars. The Oscars is a PR game and that is it. The Grand Budapest Hotel is only an average film.

If you haven't seen "Begin Again" is is worth it and it cost only $8,000,000 to make. Incredible in this day and age.

agree about Begin Again ... an under-rated gem of a film. Also was impressed by Mark Ruffalo's Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #3
