Lured by the promise of America, Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan) departs Ireland and the comfort of her mother’s home for the shores of New York City in the 1950s. 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. Nick Hornby’s adaptation of the bestselling novel by Colm Tóibín became a breakout hit of 2015, garnering three Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Hornby’s screenplay, and Ronan’s breakthrough lead performance.

"This is a deceptively complex story, arriving in the guise of simplicity. And what drives it is Ronan's beautiful performance."
"Ms. Ronan uses everything — her posture, her eyebrows, her breath, her teeth, her pores — to convey a process of change that is both seismic and subtle. By the end of Brooklyn she is no longer who she was, even as she seems like someone we have always known.”
