Brooklyn

BROOKLYN tells the profoundly moving story of Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan), a young Irish immigrant navigating her way through 1950s Brooklyn. Lured by the promise of America, Eilis departs Ireland and the comfort of her mother’s home for the shores of New York City. The initial shackles of homesickness quickly diminish as a fresh romance sweeps Eilis into the intoxicating charm of love. But soon, her new vivacity is disrupted by her past, and Eilis must choose between two countries and the lives that exist within.

Directed by John Crowley. Screenplay by Nick Hornby. Based on the Novel by Colm Tóibín. Starring Saoirse Ronan, Domhnall Gleeson, Emory Cohen with Jim Broadbent and Julie Walters.
