This movie won the Oscar for Best Picture so I had high hopes. It was stressful! The lead was incredible and deserving of Best Actress; as a native Brooklynite, I even bought her accent. Her character was a firecracker but as it does in any film where women get kicked around, it bothered me how dismissed and belittled she was. I have spent time in the neighborhoods this was set and it was neat to see them in the movie’s world. The ending was a killer, really stuck the landing.
