Review of Brooklyn (2015) by Catt26 — 08 Nov 2015

I went to see this movie last night based on all the critical acclaim it's receiving and I was totally blown away. One of the best movies of the year! A refreshing change from the 'usual tripe' that we're subjected to at the movies.

Saoirse Ronan, who has been around forever finally gets her breakout/Oscar worthy performance as Eilish Lacey in this coming-of-age movie about love, tough decision and becoming independent. I loved how there's a strong female presence in the movie who all support one another.

Emory Cohen melted my heart as Tony. Julie Walters plays the hilarious, no nonsense landlady.I feel it will do well during awards season. I can't recommend enough that one sees this movie.10/10.
