Mid-level British TV movie looking ass. 

 

This movie has everything. It is rib-achingly funny, desperately moving, it has complex and empathetic characters, its music is terrific, its cinematography is beautiful, all the acting is astounding, and it has an amazing sense of world building. I don't know how anyone would dislike the film unless they just hate drama films. Easily one of the best movies released this year. The marketing doesn't do it justice.

Speaking of which, a good point someone made is that, while the movie is called Brooklyn, we spend like half of the NY-set screentime in a kitchen of a boarding house. Aside from the Coney Island scene, there's little to no insight into what that specific area of the city was like in the '50s.

No matter. I also lived in Coney Island for a bit so that's something.

To me, Ronan is like Kidman before her: gorgeous, talented, and intriguing, yet oddly cold and distant. Meanwhile, J. Lawrence and S. Bullock are warm and approachable. Well, at least the personas they present are warm and approachable, Maybe that's why the latter two have had so many hit films while the former two have not been able to fully turn their technical talents into full-fledged box office clout. 

 

Funny you made this comparison, I think of Lawrence and Bullock as movie stars, but Ronan and Kidman I would think of as real actresses.

 

Anyway, I watched this last night and its such a beautiful movie. Ronan is fantastic and its already on her way to having a Cate Blanchett/Meryl Streep type of career. I liked Emory Cohen in The Place Beyond the Pines, and he was really good in this too, I hope he gets more roles
