Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008) by Alysia V — 05 Apr 2010
Adrien Brody will forever hold a very special place in my heart. I <3 him big time. Mark Ruffalo was great, Rachel Weisz was perfectly odd and quirky for this role and even Rinko Kikuchi was delightful in this.
An excellent, well put together cast with a unique, eccentric plot. I loved everything about it from the suave outfits they wore throughout the movie to Penelope's collection of hobbies and how Bang-Bang never talks (yet brings so much life to this movie) and Stephen's obsession of writing out life like a Dostoevsky novel and Bloom's odd attraction to Penelope and desire of wanting a non-written life.
It all blended together so well and made for one very creative story-line. I love Penelope's persistence with Bloom and the way she kept pursuing him even after he told her to go away numerous times because, in result, his true feeling for her were unveiled.
Not to mention, I loved the twist ending this film had and the way things ended up kind of just like everyone wanted...it was bitter sweet. A refreshing, original film with some oh so splendid actors!
