Review of Brooklyn (2015) by Hotfromcauldron — 16 Nov 2015
Brooklyn is best in Brooklyn in this coming - of- age -of innocence Disneylike adult fairy tale. The streets might as well have been paved in gold where the only bad things are a pair of giggling “step” roomies and taking God’s name in vain while discussing make-up.
Eilis Lacey is our princess who sails across the sea for a better life only to be swept off her feet by her knight in shining armor Tony Fiorello. Emory Cohen gives a break- out perf with a smile that could melt the polar ice caps.
Therein lies the biggest flaw of this film. There is no Eilis’ choice - unless she wants to be the most hated character in filmdom history. This homage to the immigrant is a refreshing relic.
