Article
Brooklyn is a 2015 romantic period drama film directed by John Crowley and written by Nick Hornby, based on the 2009 novel by Colm Tóibín. It stars Saoirse Ronan in the lead role, with Emory Cohen, Domhnall Gleeson, Jim Broadbent, and Julie Walters in supporting roles. The plot follows Eilis Lacey, a young Irish woman who migrates to Brooklyn in the early 1950s to find employment. After building a life there, she is drawn back to her home town of Enniscorthy and has to choose where she wants to forge her future.
Principal photography began in April 2014 with three weeks of filming in Ireland, followed by four weeks in Montreal, Quebec. Only two days of filming took place in Brooklyn, one of which was spent at the beach in Coney Island. It was a co-production of the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Canada.
