Summary:

It is the emotional tale of Eilis Lacey, a young Irish immigrant building a new life in 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.

"Fans of the novel, of which I'm one, may find the film sweeter and more romantic than Toibin's original conception."--Globe and Mail

"Brooklyn is a simple story affectingly told..."--Toronto Star

"A cinematic snow-globe of nostalgia, a portrait of two worlds that aches with family lost and freedoms found."--Boston Globe
