Brooklyn (2015) / Saoirse Ronan



Though it may not have the most innovating story about an Irish girl in the 1950’s who immigrates to the States, and gosh I hate this word,  ‘Brooklyn’ does have the right vibe. A story about love, big decisions and being afraid of their consequences and most of all growing up. Well we have seen all that before but there is a difference ‘Saoirse Ronan’. To be honest I always had a love/hate relationship with her. She seems to be so talented and the next second you wonder if she does have any facial expression at all. So I guess I would say she can be inconsistent in her acting and yes, that is what are the really interesting actresses or actors to watch. In Brooklyn she definitely nails it, she catches the vibe and make this film everything and more. Of course the music, the other  characters and screenplay all matter but when it is a story we all have seen before you need that little bit of extra magic. Saoirse Ronan.
