Review of Brooklyn (2015) by Gretchen W — 23 Oct 2016

I watched this movie before I began my "Oscar Watch". What I do (because my opinion matters) lol. I watch all the movies to see if I agree with the nominations and winners. This year along with that there was some controversey about a snub toward Black movies and actor. Creed, Straight Out of Compton, Concussion, Chiraq and Beasts of No Nation with actors and actresses in those movies as well being snubbed. I was going to watch those movies anyway (except Chiraq I am still on the fence about watching that). I had already watched SOC. I havent watched Concussion, but I doubt seeing it would change my opinion..laughing at myself cuz people really care what I think..

Here is my issue with this movie...I wasn't impressed. I do not understand the nomination. If this movie hadn't of been nominated for an oscar I may have liked it better. It is because of the nomination, I expected more. I found it boring. Compared to the other nominations it fell extremely short.

Beasts of No Nation, or Creed could have definitely been nominated. Both were much better movies. Snub.
