At long last, the movie BROOKLYN arrived in Birmingham! And it was... magical.Such a simple story: Irish immigrant girl arrives in 1950s New York City, journeys through homesickness and culture shock to create a new life, and then bad things happen to her family members, and she must choose: New York or Ireland?
But the most important thing about this movie is the love story that underpins it all. So, so lovely!
AND. I have loved Saoirse Ronan since ATONEMENT (one of my favorite movies ever!) She is beautiful in this part as well. Don't miss! I'll be pulling for this one to win all 3 Oscars it's been nominated for.
Thanks for the review, Irene! Sounds like a great Valentine's Day movie.
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved Brooklyn too! It's a movie I would love to watch again.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know she was the lovely actress in Atonement, and I do want to read this book, too. Happy to hear that you loved the movie, Irene.
ReplyDeleteOh, I adored this movie as well, Irene. There's nothing like a simple story well told. Bravo to the cast and crew!!!!!

ReplyDeleteI saw this movie with my book club--we had read the book together, and took in the movie for our December outing. This was the rare movie that I enjoyed more than the book!
