‘Love, Brooklyn’ Review: André Holland, Nicole Beharie and DeWanda Wise Carry a Simmering Romantic Drama
First-time filmmaker Rachael Abigail Holder proves her knowledge and affection for a changing corner of New York.
First-time filmmakers, director Rachael Abigail Holder and screenwriter Paul Zimmerman weave a low-key romantic odyssey that simmers with intimate heat while acting as a loving character study of the beloved, always evolving neighborhood. They even poke fun at the differences between its denizens and those who populate its sister island Manhattan and west-coast cousin, Los Angeles — a dichotomy of cool and relaxed versus slightly uptight and pretentious. As the mercurial and confident Casey, Beharie gets the first showcase of her captivating big-screen presence since her last Sundance hit, 2020’s “Miss Juneteenth.” Wise is relaxed and easygoing playing a caring mother and an alluring lover while hinting tenderly at Nicole’s inner turmoil.
