Brooklyn

Just lovely. No gunshots. No mugging. No violence against women. Or men. A handful of mean-spiritedness between the heroine and a shopkeeper, and a couple of pinches of duplicity from the heroine in light of her marriage, kept it from being too nice and "when we was all white." Okay, that may have been unnecessarily race conscious, but, when was the last time we just had a "nice" black movie. I think it was "Sounder."
