Brooklyn


Last night we saw "Brooklyn" thereby now seeing all 8 best picture nominees.  This was a great year for movies.  "Brooklyn" was a period piece about an Irish young lady who comes to America in 1952.
The story is about being torn between home and family and a new beginning with a new love.   The movie is slow paced even for me. It is one of those movies that slowly grabs you and holds you till the end. Excellently photographed and acted.  This is a good movie but not as good as say "Spotlight."

I give it ***1/2 stars. 2016 movie 5

FYI 2016 is going to be a slow year. So far I am still seeing 2015 movies. The new ones so far as a whole are weak.
