Of course, it's Ireland, so the vulgarities sound kind of - adorable? And "Flora and Son" is the latest charmer of a wish-fulfillment fantasy from John Carney, the writer-director responsible for such similarly high-spirited confections as "Once" and " Sing Street. "
Propelled by a funny, charismatic turn by Hewson (who infused such unpredictable energy in the terrific Apple TV Plus series "Bad Sisters"), "Flora and Son" is a feel-good movie that largely earns its sentimental uplift, one sick burn and soaring musical number at a time.
