I watched this movie because of the several Oscar nomination it have, and I have to say that I'm not disappointed. Brooklyn can be a slow movie, but for me it was pretty fast-passing and entertaining. I know that the immigrants going for the American dream is something topic in films, but I haven't seen a lot of movies about it, so for me it was all new and beautiful. I really like the performances. I was prejuicious and I thought that the main actress wouldn't do a good job (despite of being nominated for best actress) because she also was also the character in The Host (I liked that movie, but it was cheesy). But oh-my-goodness her portraying of Eilisie was fantastic; she turned an insipid and boring character in something really... lets say artistic. The male character in this movie was very sweet and beautiful and everything, but I just couldn't stand all the insta-love here. Just don't. I don't know why but I wasn't able to believe in the romance on Brooklyn.

Overall, I loved the final message of the immigration and how strong the main character turned out to be.

Soo... The first season was pretty good: entertaining, with and interesting topic and relatable characters. I taught that the problems of being under a dome could have been better exploded, but still, the first season was good. Then the second season came, and it was soooo good. I really truly love that season, it was so intense, action-packed and I had all the feels! So after the second season, my hopes were pretty up. When I started the third season, I was so sad the show was canceled... until I actually watched the third season. In it's last season, the show turns ridiculous, and so damn confusing; but not confusing in the good way, I mean confusing like: "I don't understand a sh¡t, let's go watch something else." And I just don't know why to build a good plot in two solid seasons, to throw it all to the trash in the third one. I think the writers were in drugs or something when they wrote the last season; otherwise, I don't see how they could screw it up so badly.

This just... this just... This movie just broke me. When I started watching this, I taught it would be sad and everything, but not THIS kind of sad. I mean, I cried in most part of the film. I cried watching a boy eat cereal, that's how powerful this movie is. With a very hard and deep topic, solid performances and the greatest photographer, screen-writers, directors,etc ever, Room will be one of my all-time-favorite-heart-breaking-movies. You want to cry? Just give this movie like, ten minutes, ant then we talk. Another great thing about Room is that, yeah, it's heart-breaking, it deals with a pretty taboo topic and is very real; but at the same tame is fast-passing and its so easy to connect with the characters... And I just love the hopeful message at the end.

This movie was simply too much for me.
