Simply A Masterpiece

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Disturbing yet enthralling

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

This is a simple story but an amazing film. Saoirse Ronan is magnificent and will be a huge star for years to come. Very enjoyable movie

I keep watching it over and over again. I find the characters so intriguing and yet so secretive that I need to keep watching it to try and learn more about them. I find the character of Tony, played by Emory Cohen, just perfectly acted.

In all honesty I did like this movie. Saoirse Ronan's acting was beautiful as always but the movie ended too quickly for me. Suddenly there was 10 minutes left and not enough has happened for me. But I give this film 7/10 because this film is sweet, not a masterpiece but enjoyable to watch.

Brooklyn for the most part was a well directed film that showcased excellent acting and a great story. We see an Irish girl travel to America and then build a lifestyle that is hard to leave behind such as her marriage, job and new friends. In Ireland she has her mother, a job she can easily jump into and a well to do suitor. The film takes a unique look at the tug of war one can face with two lifestyles in different countries. It was a great story that looked at a certain period in history that involved large scale immigration. However the story's end was a let down. We see the main character almost going back to Ireland when an incident of potential blackmail makes her now want to go back home. The logic and emotion behind this was unexplained and could leave viewers scratching their heads. Why did she decide to return to America? What was the audience supposed to see and understand here? The story felt built up with her dilemma only to be offered a weird explanation in the end, its like the director didn't know how to end the film.
