BROOKLYN

This is a10+ movie. Gleamingly filmed in New York and in Ireland with excellent acting, great dialogue with a lot of sharp witty humor, a story flow that was exquisite and characters that were believable.

I wasn't expecting much. This film was a 'fill-in' choice because i had rejected CAROL due to a friend's telling me it was painfully slow, I had also rejected HATEFUL EIGHT due to some reviews and the almost 3 hour running time and YOUTH (with michael caine and harvey keitel) that i did want to see was not in the theater at the Loft with stadium seating. SOOOOOOOOOO

I was amazingly grateful for my cinematic choice.

A young adult leaves her small Irish village to go to
America. The movie superbly showed the adjustments and transitions from leaving a birth home and landing in a totally opposite environment knowing no one. Her homesickness could be felt through the screen.

However, then she meets a young fella and she successfully completes some schooling and gets better at her sales job and things start to happen. Until she gets a call that necessitates a return trip home.

I don't want to say anything more because it will ruin the delightful and poignant twists and unexpected turns of the story.

And the ending was superb.

THIS is why i love going to movies.
