Eve Hewson is no longer “Bono’s daughter.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The actress’ bravura turn in “Flora and Son,” the latest musical drama from director John Carney (“Begin Again”), should squash any “nepo baby” cries.<\/p>\n

Permanently.<\/p>\n

Hewson’s emotionally bruised character shows how music can heal in ways nothing else can. It’s a recurring theme in Carney’s work, dating back to his 2007 masterpiece, “Once.”<\/p>\n

Sadly, “Flora and Son” is the weakest of his musically-charged films to date, but it’s still a warm, winning look at life’s uncertain melodies.<\/p>\n

Hewson plays the title character, a single Ma with a wayward son named Max (Or\u00e9n Kinlan). He’s sullen and cranky, and he keeps getting arrested for minor crimes around their Dublin neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Flora impulsively buys Max a guitar to give him something to focus on besides his budding crime career. He rejects the gift, convincing her to take a few lessons on her own.<\/p>\n

After all, her ex Ian (Jack Reynor, “Sing Street”) is a musician. Why not her?<\/p>\n

Flora hires an L.A.-based musician named Jeff (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) to teach her via a Zoom-like connection. Their sessions turn into a series of awkward dates, with chord progressions giving way to personal confessions.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, young Max is making music on his own terms, hopefully to woo the heart of a local teen. <\/p>\n
