Brighton Beach Memoirs

So glad I watched it again. Just as great today as it was so many years ago. Terrific movie.

I used to watch this with my mom as a kid. Gave you some insight of what the old days living in to 1900’s was.

Film was excellent. In our senior household we were both extremely disappointed that this version was not closed captioned which resulted in us missing some of the fast moving dialogue. In the future how can we determine if a film we are purchasing is CC before we purchase?

Just as I remembered it when it first came out. Many laughs and many truly great lessons in this Neil Simon masterpiece. If I had just a few movies this would be one of them.

I purchased this movie for myself! Very good movie! Excellent story!

Neil Simon is one of the greats and this explains why. He wasnt as prolific as Woody Allen but he hits it out of the ball park every single time. He was an innovator and ahead of his time with this piece--utilizing techniques of straight to camera and faux documentary that we take for granted now. Ive seen this a dozen times and it never loses its humor, poignancy and a certain sad nostalgia for a bygone era that is done without an ounce of sentimentality. The key scene between Blanche and her daughter Nora is dead on now and probably will be forever, because great writing transcends time. These are people experiencing the basic human things we all experience and that is what makes Simon one of the greats.

This a classic movie! I enjoyed it as a kid and I still enjoy it as an adult. I should have bought it instead of renting it so I have it.

This is a movie that all preteen boys and girls can relate to as well as a comedy masterpiece for everybody.

Loved this ! Have seen it years ago and just loved it. It is so funny and a cute movie too.

I would actually give it 6 stars, if that were possible, because, its that good.
