One of the best movies I have watched in a long time. It's a little slow moving but very captivating. I really got a feel for how our early immigrants must have felt when arriving in a strange land and how their hearts were torn for their loved ones back home
Saoirse Ronan and Emory Cohen are brilliant in this movie.
Saoirse Ronan performs brilliantly, especially in scenes with Emory Cohen as her Italian boyfriend. One of the best movies I've seen in the last five years.
Loved this engaging movie! As an Irish girl myself, it had very special meaning.
loved every minute of this movie
Great movie .... The star of it .... I found her so captivating.... Very enjoyable .....
Performances were very good. Movie was very well cast. Not much in the way of humour or real drama. Dragged a bit. If it wasn't for the two main actors, this movie would have been in trouble. Could have been much better, but not a waste of time.
Perfect! I went to see it twice. Expressions, storyline, action and holding on until the end. Real.
Excellent film adaptation of Colm Toibin's beautiful novel about a young Irish woman who struggles to make a life for herself in New York. Saoirse Ronan is outstanding and deserves an Academy Award nomination for her nuanced performance. A touching and heartwarming tale of a young woman coming of age. Bravo!
Beautifully filmed and acted. Sweet and real.
