"Brooklyn", 2015, directed by John Crowley, a production of Ireland, the UK and Canada, won the Best British Film of 2015 prize. The starring young actress Saoirse Ronan, who has 26 films in her luggage, despite the fact that she was only 21 at the time. I started to watch without much expectation - another melodrama, that's all, but in general, the film evoked in me normal human feelings from the told unassuming story, besides, well shot. A young Irish girl Eilis lives in a small town with her mother and sister, they are all British restrained, but the sisters are very fond of each other, with their mother is not noticeable. Rose’s older sister, who works as an accountant in those times (1950) and in those places is a very good job, realizing that her younger sister simply will not be able to find a good job there, agrees with a priest friend, also an Irishman, who has long lived in America, to help her sister. Eilis doesn’t understand why her sister doesn’t want to leave (a possible reason will be revealed later and she is very tragic), but she agrees. The priest does help, as he does help other Irish girls, as well as hundreds of homeless Irish people, and she settles in the very Brooklyn that for us is more connected with Jewish emigration, but it was also a place where mostly Irish immigrants settled. Eilis everything, in principle, is going well, although not without some difficulties and almost turning off the chosen path, but I will not tell you more, otherwise you will get a solid spoiler. Heroes look quite vital - and the restrained heroine Saoirse Ronan, who in her 19-20 years has to make a difficult choice and almost independently decide everything for herself, and the rest of the characters. In my opinion, the film is very good.
