Plot
In the middle of the last century, Eilis (Saoirse Ronan) takes the boat from Ireland to America in search of a better life. She endures the loneliness of the exile, boarding with an insular and catty collection of Irish girls in Brooklyn. Gradually, her American dream materializes: she studies bookkeeping and meets a handsome, sweet Italian boy (Emory Cohen). But then bad news brings her back home, where she finds a good job and another handsome boy (Domhnall Gleeson), this time from a prosperous family. On which side of the Atlantic does Eilis?s future live, and with whom?
John Crowley, known for 'Closed Circuit' and 'Is Anybody There?', directs this film that also features Julie Walters and Michael Zegen.

Trivia
Rooney Mara was originally cast in the lead role. However, her eventual replacement, Saoirse Ronan, was a front-runner for the part since the film began development, but she was too young to portray Eilis. The production was stalled for years, Mara backed out and when the project was ready to resume, Ronan had aged properly to fit the character and won the part.
Fox Searchlight Pictures acquired the distribution rights of the film at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, with a record-deal of $9 million.
Received a standing ovation when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
