Review of Brooklyn (2015) by Spangle — 13 Dec 2015
Romantic, emotional, moving, and entirely lush, Brooklyn is a gorgeous film about love and also about the struggles of immigrants. Saoirse Ronan is phenomenal in the film, as is Emory Cohen. Together, they form one of the better on-screen couples in recent memory.
The writing is fantastic. The entire film goes from emotion, romance, comedy, and tragedy, in a very natural manner that makes this one really hit you hard. As a period piece, it was inevitable I would like this one.
Beautiful costume and production design, as well as some fantastic music really set the mood for this one. The direction is very good as well, though certainly not the strongest element of the film. The runtime really flies by and you get swept up in the world of magic and wonder.
Ronan deserves recognition for this, which will more than likely come.
