Brooklyn 45 is a chilling & emotional film that looks at PTSD, xenophobia, & ethical dilemmas of war through the lens of one séance gone very wrong.
Brooklyn 45, from writer-director Ted Geoghegan, takes place in a single location — a Brooklyn brownstone — during a singular period of time — the Christmas after World War II drew to a close. Utilizing both its single location and its unique setting in time, Brooklyn 45 is a chilling and emotional film that looks at PTSD, xenophobia, and the ethical dilemmas of war through the lens of one séance gone horrifically wrong.
One of Brooklyn 45's biggest strengths is its game cast. Ramsay and Buzzington share a crackling dynamic as tensions flare in the aftermath of the initial séance, with the latter making for a formidable villain figure. Buzzington's Paul is a war man through and through, wearing his regalia and his toxic patriotism proudly on his shoulder. Marla is the most sensible of the bunch, desperately trying to defuse a situation that threatens to spiral out of control at any second.
