Brooklyn



The story of Ellis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan), a young Irish immigrant navigating her way through 1950s Brooklyn.  Lured by the promise of America, Ellis departs Ireland and the comfort of her mother's home for the shores of New York City.  The initial shackles of homesickness quickly diminish as a fresh romance sweeps Ellis into the intoxicating charm of love.  But soon, her new vivacity is disrupted by her past, and Ellis must choose between two countries and the lives that exist within.  A good romantic drama.  I give it an eight.
