Critics Consensus

Love, Brooklyn is a tender, character-driven film whose emotional honesty and natural performances shine through a relaxed pace and underwritten story.

The movie itself is such a sanitized and heightened version of Brooklyn that it never feels like a real place where real people live.

This is a small, indie slice-of-life tale and character study. Charming, yes. Riveting, no.

It’s left to the cast to do the best sales job with this underdeveloped material.

The energy from the film evaporated -- it just needed something more.

Roger’s bike rides around Brooklyn are filmed with such care and wonder that the film ultimately works as a love letter to the endless possibilities of the borough.

Due to the vulnerability and the comedic skill that Nicole Beharie brings to her role as Casey, I don’t think that there’s another actress that could’ve done a better job portraying this complex character.

It was a good film. The acting was very good. The intricate stories were good. However, it feels like there was quite a bit left on the cutting room floor.

I liked the fact that the guy in the movie was in a dilemma with which direction to take am so he did nothing until he was forced to face his life choices head on. The two females he was involved with cut him no slack.
