Interesting movie. Has a very slow tempo but it grows on you. Didn’t think that I could do the 230 minutes of Edward Norton playing a Tourette syndrome having private detective, but he delivers his magic yet again. Music to the movie is magical too. Enjoyable overall even thought slightly over complicated and bit derivative.
7/10

Enjoyable overall even thought slightly over complicated and bit derivative. 7/10 Indeed, the jazz is excellent and so is the sound mixing, along with Norton's performance, of course—he has a way of making complex characters charming and endearing. And I concur that the film grows on the viewer—see my comments in the other thread. linkMeanwhile, I would say that the "derivative" quality that you sense is intentional—as I wrote in my other post, Motherless Brooklyn is partly an homage to the cinematic past while also an attempt to advance this type of movie via the kind of social commentary and debate that would have been less palpable (if existent at all) in an urban genre piece from the forties or fifties.
