Review of Motherless Brooklyn (2019) by Joshua Rothkopf for Time Out — 01 Nov 2019
Yet it’s rare that we get a movie this municipally minded and Chinatown-ish, and Norton invents new elements with a free hand, including a Harlem turf war, a skittering jazz undercurrent (the music is by Daniel Pemberton) and a love interest in Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
Alec Baldwin, playing a powerful urban planner, makes for a ferocious Robert Moses stand-in.
