#SaoirseRonan gives an early, luminous performance in John Crowley’s #Brooklyn as Eilis Lacey, a young Irish woman navigating homesickness, love and identity in 1950s New York. ⁠ ⁠ Based on Colm Tóibín’s novel, the film beautifully captures the tension in the migrant story, between the pull of the past and the promise of the future. This quietly elegant gem evokes the dislocation and dignity at the heart of the immigrant experience.⁠ ⁠ The film is on THR's list of the best films about the immigrant experience. See the full list at the link in bio. ⁠
