me, watching this & crying about moving back to college that's only 2 hours away from my hometown: (sighs dramatically) my life is just as hard as emigrating from ireland to brooklyn by boat in 1951

imagine THE IMMIGRANT as written by Nicholas Sparks and you'll be on the right track. ...but much more charming than that sounds. it's lightweight stuff with all sorts of issues, and it's absolutely insane that this can't be a studio film in the current climate, but Saoirse Ronan sells every damn second of it.

here’s the thing: tony was obviously the better choice but the guy who plays him is a very bad actor and we all looked past it because he’s hot now. sorry bout it! real fans remember when he played debra messing’s heinous son leo on nbc smash which absolutely ruined his career from the start because you can’t just unsee a bowl cut that severe. please google it i sometimes see him in the corner of my room when i have sleep paralysis

51/100
Second viewing, no change, and now I understand why I find it so underwhelming. In theory, it's about Eilis being torn between her original home and her adopted home, but conveying that without the benefit of the novel's interior monologue is beyond Hornby's or Crowley's abilities—and even beyond Ronan's, ultimately. As a result, the film is forced to rely almost entirely upon external forces to shape Eilis' decisions, and said forces are kinda banal: She warms to America because she meets a nice fella, then finds herself drawn back to Ireland because she meets another nice fella (and gets offered a job she wants). And then her decision to get on the ship is inspired not by an unexpected…

Review by Henry Wilson ★★★★½

I went into this movie trying to keep the hype level as minimal as possible. Once I finished watching it, I was every bit as satisfied as I could possibly get, because this is possibly one of the most beautiful and heartfelt movies I've seen in a long time. Even though romance movies are not often my thing, I want to see great and interesting characters, with amazing acting from the cast, with a well written and compelling story. This film pretty much fulfills these criteria.
The director of this film is John Crowley. This is a director I am not too familiar with, but he did an excellent job creating such a well written, and beautifully shot movie. From…

Wow. Wish I’d seen it earlier. It’s just so so so so so lovely. Saoirse great. Emory too.
Review by leereum ★★★★

너의 삶이 있는 곳이 고향이니라.
소설로 쓰면 좋겠다 생각했는데 역시 원작은 소설.
감정을 말로 표현하면 작품의 질은 떨어진다. 섬세하고 세련된 연기와 연출. 매우 훌륭한 영화다.
