Casper R Man this was a movie hard to watch, not because of the film making, but because of subject. This is another quick reminder that Andrew Garfield is the best actor or one of the best actor of this generation, everything he touches turns into gold. Peter Mullan was great as Terry, so was the rest of the supporting cast. This movie is pretty Dam British/Irish, lots of beer and cursing, which makes the movie feel more real. The whole movie is about how he can start a new life, which leads to one of the most tense endings in any movie I have ever scene. You already know where this is going to, but you have to slightest of hope that he chooses otherwise, it made me cry. Overall such a powerful movie, with powerful filmmaking and one a breakthrough performance of Andrew Garfield Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a masterclass in acting, directing, and the way it conveys many interesting topics we didn't necessarily think to ask ourselves. The sadness of a wasted youth just washes over me every time I watch it... The movie made me ask so many questions and question my moral stances. A powerful, thought-provoking piece of art. It was clear from this small, intimate movie, that Andrew Garfield is a talented young performer that can evoke the most visceral, yet opposing reactions in a viewer. One of my favorite movies. A hidden gem. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Andrew Garfield stars here in his first film role as a young man freshly released from prison after serving a sentence for his part in a horrific crime committed when he was a child. The film follows his attempts to re-enter and reintegrate with society as he starts his new life as 'Jack'. He is aided by rehabilitation worker Terry, here played by the always excellent Peter Mullan, as they both aim to keep his past history away from public knowledge. This film is challenging and deeply disturbing at times as it explores the psyche of those who commit such atrocities, while also displaying the human side of these people. It shows the positive effect of rehabilitation and poses the question 'does everyone deserve a second chance?'. The overwhelming anxiety of being defined by and never being able to escape past actions hangs over the main character throughout. An underrated gem of British Cinema. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Still trying to decide how I feel about this film... Andrew Garfield is amazing! But if you're going to see a John Crowley film, Brooklyn is the way to go. I'm excited to see what else the director does!
