82.) Brooklyn [12/10/2015]

This movie received a lot of buzz early as an Oscar contender, and with a Nick Hornsby script and a cast of great actors, my interest was certainly piqued; it was, however, a bit disappointing: I was glad that Hornsby's adaptation (I haven't yet read the book) didn't kowtow to Hollywood's insistence on neatly wrapped packages and perfect endings; however, the cinematography felt claustrophobic and I questioned some of the directorial decisions; Brooklyn was good, but it wasn't great.
