Motherless Brooklyn

Edward Norton är mycket bra i huvudrollen, och imponerar som manusförfattare och regissör.

...it’s passionate, controlled and smart—a throwback to another era of American cinema, not just American life.

There’s no arguing with the quality of the craft here: the production design, by Beth Mickle, is vivid and full-blooded; the score, by Daniel Pemberton, is a brassy dive bar grind, all skittish drums and slutty brass.

...undeniably fresh, topical, and intriguing.

...Norton is always well cast as neuroatypical, and he’s excellent as the usually calm, rational Lionel, who seems to share his brain with an anarchist.

...a substantial and distinctive drama, unlike anything in the cinema right now...

Edward Norton står både bakom och framför kameran i ett stämningsfullt kriminaldrama fyllt av mystik. Han levererar en av sina bästa rollprestationer och har samtidigt filmatiserat ett snårigt mysterium med mycket gott resultat.
