Movie Reviews

Sunday Times (UK) - 10/10 by Edward PorterBased on Colm Toibin's novel, and starring Saoirse Ronan as an Irish immigrant in 1950s New York, this genial drama about leaving home welcomes you in.
Reel Reviews - 10/10 by Frank WilkinsNot only significant as a smartly written piece of social and historical commentary, but it's also just a great, well-crafted movie that warms the heart and is a lot of fun to watch.
CinemaDope - 10/10 by Glenn LovellIf there is a more uplifting film making the rounds, I'm not aware of it ... Conditioned by so many misanthropic melodramas, we assume, cynically, that the worst will befall Ronan. When this doesn't happen, we're pleasantly surprised, touched.
Film International - 10/10 by Elias SavadaI can't spot a single thing wrong withBrooklyn. An Oscar-caliber package; start betting on victory for Ronan, at the least. Heart-warming, light-hearted, and perfectly poised. Simple. Beautiful. Lovely.
MLive.com - 10/10 by John SerbaScreenwriter Nick Hornby and director John Crowley join star Saoirse Ronan in creating a united front against the clichés of romance, comedy and coming-of-age tropes.
Lyles' Movie Files - 10/10 by Jeffrey LylesMovies this charming don't come around nearly often enough as they should but it helps make gems like Brooklyn shine all the brighter.
The Virginian-Pilot - 10/10 by Mal VincentBrooklyn is escapist entertainment that also is full of depth and turmoil. As such, it is a rare find in movie theaters nowadays.
Sacramento News & Review - 10/10 by Jim LaneExpertly directed by John Crowley and adapted (equally well) by Nick Hornby from Colm Toibin's novel, this is one of the smallest, most intimate and best movies of the year, with an aching suspense that bigger, brasher movies can only dream of.
ReviewExpress.com - 10/10 by Diana SaengerTouching and one of the year's best films
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 10/10 by John BeifussRonan emerges here as the quietest spellbinder in movies. She is in every scene, and she is so appealing that Eilis becomes every viewer's ideal: an ideal daughter, sister, employee, girlfriend and confidante.
