Watch Brooklyn For Free

Pretty Good

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The apparent (perhaps 'largest' or 'most obvious') central conflict - and, indeed, the supposed 'plot', as advertised and spoken about by pretty much everyone involved with its production - doesn't actually begin, in the strictest of senses, until the final third of 'Brooklyn (2015)', which leaves little room for this new, much more outward struggle and ultimately results in much of it seeming rather rushed and communicated somewhat ineffectively, especially considering that the tensions and temptations tearing our protagonist between her two homes often feel tenuous at best and that her choice, which is supposed to be a difficult and ambiguous one, actually ends up seeming rather obvious. The picture is actually much more of a character study than anything else, though, and certainly isn't marked solely by this late-edition plot-shift - though it's definitely solidified and enhanced by it. The film conveys itself through universal and surprisingly touching themes of home, heritage, love and the ever-evolving, unexpected nature of life itself. It comes together to become an incredibly endearing and entertaining experience that enchants as much as it emotionally affects, often making you long for a home you perhaps never had by letting you into the heart of a person who somehow doesn't really exist. 8/10

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)

I wasn't really feeling this movie, when I first heard about it but, it had caught my attention. I finally watched it recently and it was perfect. I am very picky when it comes to romance moves but, Brooklyn blew me away. I am going to be reading the novel soon, Brooklyn is definitely one of my favorites.Really enjoyed it. Went from a perfectly pleasant coming of age story to some real deep meaning about identity, home, love, and career. Didn't see any problems with it. It got pretty dramatic and heavy at times, all while sticking with the same tone. I guess the only issue I had with it is that it was kind of slow at the beginning and I wasn't absolutely in love with it.--- From Yidioo

A charming story, with an admirable cast and lovable characters. Brooklyn narrates a very grounded, and even better; relatable, story in a very appealing and likable way.This movie is about family, home, loss, choice and of course, love, and it melds it all together so well. Saoirse Ronan is incredibly captivating and never drops the ball once. She is an absolute joy to watch, and this role was tailor made for her, and she executed it with class.Ermory Cohan, though he too was very impressive, I feel was just a little bit miscast. Ermory has a look about him that screams "bad guy", that had me concerned for the most part, that he would turn into an abusive dolt. If the character was meant to seem that way for the plot, he would've been perfect, but Tony is innocent and "sweet", and Ermory threw me off from time to time.From there, the character dynamics were a pleasure. Eilis and Rose, Mary and Rose, Eilis and Mary. Eilis and her boarding house mates. Eilis and her best friend, Eilis and Jim, Eilis and the witch and of course, Eilis and Tony.Brooklyn is a definite must watch. Its simplicity is quite simply, delightful. A firm 8/10.
