The atmosphere of Brooklyn adds a lot of life and realism to the story. I think the characters were interesting to watch and it had some fun moments. But the rape scene seemed to come out of nowhere, didn't add to the story, and was done very flippantly. I also don't like how Jamie is still portrayed as a decent guy and the movie continues as if nothing happened. I was glad to see Nola choose to not be tied to monogamy at the end of the film, as none of these men are real 'catches'. I like how it goes against the grain of the Hollywood ending and the expectation that women need a relationship to be fulfilled.
