Deviations on a grand scale

 

Motherless Brooklyn (2019)


Directed by star Ed Norton this film based on the novel of the same name also features Bruce Willis, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Alec Baldwin and Willem Dafoe. A private investigator with Tourette's syndrome looks into the murder of his mentor.


It seems this film differs wildly from its source material both in period and plot. As a noir film this is a fairly enjoyable effort but never really connects on a human level. For all the on screen talent this film ends up being unremarkable.


3/5
