Our Page to Screen series returns with Brooklyn, John Crowley’s heartfelt 2015 drama!
Based on the novel of the same name by Colm Toibin, the movie follows the journey of young Irish immigrant Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan), as she relocates to 1950s Brooklyn in search of a better life. Torn between her new life in America and the pull of her roots back in Ireland, Eilis finds herself navigating love, homesickness, and the challenge of forging her own identity in a foreign land
Receiving three Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Ronan, and Best Adapted Screenplay, Brooklyn stands out for its poignant exploration of home and belonging.
After the film stick around for a discussion with Reggie Peralta, our Staff Writer/Editor, and our friends from Arvida Book Co. about the movie and book it’s based on!
