adonis98-743-186503 Eilis Lacey is a young woman working in a grocery shop. She has greater ambitions and moves to Brooklyn, New York, leaving her mother and sister, Rose, behind. She settles down, finds a job, studies to be a bookkeeper and meets a nice young man, Tony. Things are going well but then she learns that Rose has died, and decides to return to Ireland, temporarily. Brooklyn boasts a good perfomance by Saoirse Ronan but the film is extremely slow and boring, the cinematography is fine but the whole film is just a waste of talent, money and easily time. (2/10)
johnrgreen The main weakness with this rather tame film is the male lead.His uncharismatic character does not impose itself on the film and Ronan's character.So the film is unbalanced with Ronan a strong performer,helped by the close-ups on her pale eyes and enigmatic expression. I didn't buy the attraction other than availability,nor the speed of blossoming love.Then a toe-curling dinner scene with the family including a bizarre younger sibling(well singposted).The giggling girls at the boarding house got a little repetitive .Only when she returned to Ireland did the film open up and although it was predictable she would fall for someone else and dither it was too much to hope she would stay behind. In a William Trevor story she may have.
alireza-akhlaghi84 The awesome and lovely Brooklyn movie - 2015 and the genre of drama and romance. In the true sense, doubts is the most appropriate word in the key moments of the movie stream, the audience in an inner challenge is in the position and getting right from the first character of the story in that moments. Especially when in the film we find that the personality of the first character of the story, Ronan Saurice, as Ellis, is a highly introverted, conservative and literary human. On the other hand, the situation for the first character of the story is such that returning home with a rotation of one hundred and eighty degrees of livelihood situation and working conditions. Doubts and finally thinking, perhaps by coercion, but ultimately by accepting particular conditions in a unique way, this film has to be seen with the world and more angles familiar to introverted people emotionally.
merelyaninnuendo BrooklynEven though the issues interfered here is light as a chip, the suave tone of it which was set from the first frame gives it enough gravitas to meddle the emotions and feelings of the audience. Brooklyn is a light drama feature that raises some genuine family and society issues in a mild and amusing tone with enough material to feed the audience. John Crowley gets it right this time and his execution is plausible here along with Nick's tight adaptation from the novel and perfectly edited feature with reasonable runtime. And in the end, it is a captain's cruise and Saoirse Ronan sails it through each and every phase offering comfortable ride to the viewers with a great supporting cast like Domhnall. Brooklyn's short runtime, fast paced screenplay, majestic performance and a perfect execution favors in all accounting it into far better than one could have expected.
