With "Brooklyn," I've seen every film nominated for Best Picture at this year's Oscars. While a great movie that hearkens back to old Hollywood film making, the film didn't do much to make me think it was worthy of the nomination. I need to repeat, something though, this is a great movie. It features classic storytelling, a powerful female lead, and even a few surprises. Unfortunately, when compared to the other films in the category, it doesn’t seem so revolutionary. This love story is still worth watching, but be gentle when comparing it to likes of “Spotlight” and “The Revenant.”
Be good to each other,
