Brooklyn
DramaRomance117 min
In the early 1950s, Eilis Lacey leaves Ireland for Brooklyn, where the promise of work and independence is shadowed by homesickness and the pull of the life she left behind. Saoirse Ronan is Eilis, a young immigrant caught between two countries as she starts to make a place for herself in New York. A romance with Tony (Emory Cohen) deepens her ties to the city, while back in Ireland, Domhnall Gleeson’s Jim Farrell points toward another future. The story moves through a Brooklyn boarding house, family obligations, and the question of where Eilis wants to build her life.
