Homegrown

I wanted to turn it off at many points, but I'm glad that I stuck with it, because the whole film is deep verité. You don't have any notion of who is behind the camera... It does a reality check that I found gratifying.

Love, Brooklyn
(2025)
|
Christy Lemire
|
The movie itself is such a sanitized and heightened version of Brooklyn that it never feels like a real place where real people live.

It's not a great movie, but I did appreciate the extremes that [Orlando Bloom] would go to transform himself.

The camera here is so much more sophisticated and intricate than pretty much any stage production I've seen filmed, and that is to its credit.

It manages to be both familiar and entirely different... It taught me about a culture I didn't know much about and opened my eyes to a different experience.

It could have been more connected narratively, but it was beautifully told and for most part moving.

Such an effective black comedy. It melds so many different themes: grief, longing, loss, the need to connect, against a really well-developed character arc.
