    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The city of Brooklyn, New York, in this movie, was shot in Montreal, Québec, for budgeting reasons, as the production could not turn 2015 Brooklyn back into 1950s Brooklyn. Only two days of production were spent in Brooklyn, one to create the brownstone exterior shots and a second to film at Coney Island.
    • Goofs
      Eilis is told by her priest that he's paid for her to take a night school bookkeeping course at Brooklyn College. In the early 1950s there were no tuition fees for full time day students, but night school students had to pay tuition at all of the NYC public colleges.
    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Eilis: [instructing new immigrant] You have to think like an American. You'll feel so homesick that you'll want to die, and there's nothing you can do about it apart from endure it. But you will, and it won't kill you. And one day the sun will come out - you might not even notice straight away, it'll be that faint. And then you'll catch yourself thinking about something or someone who has no connection with the past. Someone who's only yours. And you'll realize... that this is where your life is.

    Radiant; Saoirse Ronan is Spectacular
    Looming skyscrapers in a distant land, the kindness of strangers, love and hope for a better life; such things open the eyes of Eilis, a smart and insular immigrant to 1950s Brooklyn, to opportunities she did not have in the Irish countryside. While at first lonely and homesick in this new cityscape, Eilis is soon enthralled with the bright possibilities, encouraged by all she is learning and charmed by the people she meets. She breaks free from her shell and shines in this radiant, unfamiliar realm. Returning to Ireland for what she hopes is a brief stay, Eilis both sees through and is seen in a luminous and different light. Both worlds, New York and her Irish home, now pull the new and improved Eilis in different directions.

    Saoirse Ronan is spectacular in her performance as Eilis. She really makes this Sundance hit come alive. It is comforting, as always, to see a film that does not depend on explosions, computer graphics and alien contagions to entertain. There is a deeper pleasure here, one that pulls at mind, spirit, body and heart together. Visuals, story, organization, acting, intriguing characters and more, all come together well.
