‘Brooklyn’ Trailer: Saoirse Ronan Leaves Ireland And Finds Love In 1950s New York City
By Ethan Anderton/July 10, 2015 5:30 am EST
Set in 1950s New York City, the film follows a young Irish immigrant girl, fresh off the boat and hoping for the opportunity that America is known for across the world. Life isn’t easy at first, but then a budding romance enters the picture and everything changes. And if the trailer is any indicator, this one should be a touching charmer. Watch the Brooklyn trailer after the jump!
The film is based on the novel of the same name by Colm Toibin, and as you can see, features not one, but two romances, spanning across the globe. This looks like exactly the kind of coming-of-age film I’m a sucker for (in case you missed it, check out my favorite coming-of-age films from the past 25 years), and the trailer paints a wonderful, even grand tale.
Saoirse Ronan has always shown tremendous talent from a young age, but it’s clear that she’s becoming a very talented young woman in this trailer, and growing up very quickly. This might be the kind of performance that ends up getting her an Oscar nomination when the time comes. It’s a little early to make any solid predictions on that front, but this does look very good.
Brooklyn hits limited theaters beginning November 6th.
