Motherless Brooklyn: A masterpiece


Four cheers for Edward Norton. He stars in, directed, produced, and adapted (from the eponymous novel) this gem of a flick. It takes place in the 1950s. Norton is Lionel Essrog, a gumshoe with issues. He has Tourette's Syndrome, a condition that compels him to make embarrassing noises and gestures. It restricts his life and impedes his work.

But when his friend, mentor, and boss is murdered, Lionel lets nothing stop him from tracking down and exposing the killer.

How much did the Movie Slut love this movie?
Let's just say she can't wait to see it again. And again. And again.
