Better Film? Phoenix or Ronan? Paltrow or Cohen? Shaw or Gleeson? Better Writing? Better Cinematography? Better final scene? ('Ellis gets fed up and leaves Ireland to go back to Tony' or 'Michelle tells Leonard that she's going back to her other lover and Leonard embraces Sandra')

Two Lovers for all, and it ain’t close on most fronts.

Better Film: Two Lovers. It works much better as an overall piece. Phoenix/Ronan: Ronan by far. Phoenix isn't bad by any means, but Saoirse is miraculous and is largely the reason her film manages not to collapse onto itself. Paltrow/Cohen: Cohen. I didn't hate him in Place Beyond the Pines like most, but I never expected the effortless charm he exhibited here. Shaw/Gleeson: Both are forgettable as hell, so tie. Better Writing: Two Lovers, because Brooklyn has a laughably contrived second half. Better Cinematography: I guess Brooklyn. I liked its color palette. Better Final Scene: Yeah, Brooklyn.

Two Lovers for all. Brooklyn is a pretty average film.

Two Lovers for everything but Ronan for performance.

I'll take the good one for everything.
That's Brooklyn, and I'm saddened to see that it's racing neck and neck with such an inferior piece.
