Saoirse Ronan (Wikipedia) |
This is a lovely film. It's a gentle story set in the early 1950's, well told and beautifully shot (some of the Brooklyn scenes were shot in Montreal).
The acting is understated - Saoirse Ronan (whom I don't remember in Grand Budapest Hotel) shows good range and character growth - one critic labeled her as 'one to watch' in the future. Emory Cohen (whom I'm not familiar with) does very well. I don't know if the accent by Julie Walters (HP series and Calendar Girls) is realistic, but she dominates the scenes she's in. And I'm starting to admire the work of Domhnall Gleeson (also HP series & Star Wars: The Force Awakens), who is subtle but strong.
I would see this again and I recommend it to you.
