This is a small, indie slice-of-life tale and character study. Charming, yes. Riveting, no.

It’s left to the cast to do the best sales job with this underdeveloped material.

The spirit of 'Love, Brooklyn' is tenderness. It is both a love letter and a sympathy card: an acknowledgement that growing up sometimes means letting go, embracing the changes that come with time …

Love Brooklyn speaks to how you can love something so much that when it changes you can’t see the lovable parts that remain nor the ones that grew anew. It shines in its simplicity as well as its complexity.

"Love, Brooklyn" offers a bountiful, conversation-driven romantic drama that exudes intelligence, not only in its portrayal of the neighborhood's dynamics but also in its exploration of the hurdles modern relationships face.

The M Report (WBOC.com)

The humor and the dynamics feel so natural. Nothing feels forced or contrived. The conversations are open and honest as well. It's refreshing to see such openness in a film that isn't a comedy. There are comedic elements in this film.

It was a good film. The acting was very good. The intricate stories were good. However, it feels like there was quite a bit left on the cutting room floor.

I liked the fact that the guy in the movie was in a dilemma with which direction to take am so he did nothing until he was forced to face his life choices head on. The two females he was involved with cut him no slack.
