Director : John Crowley
Running Time : 111 mins
Eilis Lacey (Ronan) emigrates from Ireland to the United States in the hope of finding a job as she can’t find full time work in her home town of Enniscorthy, County Wexford. She moves to a Brooklyn boarding house and finds a job, and secretly marries her new man Tony Fiorello (Cohen) but when her sister dies back in Ireland Eilis is forced to return and finds everyone trying to convince her to stay and trying to fix her up with men, not knowing she has a husband back in the states.
This was such a nice old fashioned romantic drama, with Ronan doing a great job in the lead. Her character’s decisions might be questionable as the movie progresses, but she makes it work and makes it feel like a plausible approach, in spite of how ridiculous it might sound from the outset. The drama is at times high, but it’s the romance that makes this movie such a winner, and don’t worry – there’s a happy ending, I promise.
