Make sure you have a lot of diligence and spare time before you start watching 'Motherless Brooklyn' because it will test every bit of your composure. But if you are patient enough the movie will reward you. By the time you'd wanna praise the script, the film will tire and drain you with overbearing dialogues and a prosaic trip through the hard-hitting streets of New York City in the '50s. Heavily populated with a lot of different storylines the film demands so much of your attention and focus that it forgets to create an enjoyable experience for the audience.
Highs: Casting and acting is top-notch and even with the crowded line up of stories the film manages good sequencing between scenes. Starts off the bat with a motive and sets up a good pace. The ending is also solid and earns points on its own.
Lows: Scriptwriting is tangling. Throws overmuch and tries way too hard to become an acceptable film. The ambiance is also dull and doesn't help the fulfillment process.
Rating: 2.5 **/*
