brooklyn

this is a fabulous movie about an irish immigrant in the 1950's. "brooklyn" is based on the novel by colm toibin and does a remarkable job of showing the main character's gradual coming of age between her life in ireland and new york.

the director did a very good job of letting you feel her tension between countries and family loyalties without giving her ultimate choice away.

beautifully filmed, i highly recommend this movie and am going to add the book to my library list.
