Brooklyn is the deeply emotional tale of Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan), a young Irish immigrant navigating her way through 1950s Brooklyn. Lured by the promise of America, Eilis departs Ireland for the shores of New York City and is soon swept up by the intoxicating charms of new love. But when her new life is disrupted by her past, she must choose between two countries and the lives that exist within.

Got some problems with the second half of this film. Kinda looses its direction. Great acting but manipulative plotline gets annoying.

Coming from a family of immigrants, the story connected in a poignant way. The pull of both the old and the new, The love of a new home, but the calling of the old one. Worth watching.

Nothing new or compelling. Don't understand why this got so much attention. There are dozens of better immigrant stories out there or waiting to be told.
