92% of viewers liked it on rotten tomatoes. I knew my Irish immigrant mother would enjoy it, so I brought her across Dallas to see it. She loved the nostalgia. We both loved the story and characters.
Fun fact for me: The main character's name is Eilis. In the movie, they pronounced the first part of her name as a long A. My family pronounces mine like a long I. We both pronounce the second syllable like "leash." I have spent half a century explaining my unusual Gaelic name to everyone I meet. I won't even get into how many ways my name is misspelled. Let's just say that my three children have very simple to say and spell names....

I try to see a movie each week, so I'll look for Brooklyn. If it doesn't come to a theater nearby, I'll put it on my list for Netflix. Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteWell first let me say, thank you for explaining how to say your name and I'll try to remember that. ;)
ReplyDeleteHaven't even heard of this movie. One of the things I love about Dallas is the great choices in movies. A girlfriend and I often meet at Angelika and see artsy movies. It's fun!
That's where we saw it :)
DeleteI'm guilty of saying your name wrong...I think I even misspelled it once! So sorry:) Thanks for the info on the movie! Good movies are a rare find anymore.
ReplyDeleteHope you get to see it. You will like it.
