"Review: 'Brooklyn 45' Delivers a Haunting Séance Story with Nazi Undertones"

"Brooklyn 45" is a supernatural horror film that takes place entirely on one set, the front room of a brownstone, and unfolds in real-time like a play. The movie is a meditation on grief and the unfinished business of war as experienced by a group of friends who struggle with adjusting to peacetime. The script could use some trimming, but the friendship bond is palpable, and the ensemble cast digs into all the thorny complexity of each character's moral ambiguity and ethical compromise. The interest lies in the psychological and emotional, and Geoghegan has created a space where all of it can be looked at, or run from, acknowledged or denied.
