Amy and I have been excitedly waiting for Brooklyn to be screened in Ireland. We loved the book and when we saw it was being made in to a film we made plans months ago to go see it together.
It came out last weekend but we went to see it this Friday along with Alice & Katie.
What can I say! It was brilliant......quite possibly better than the book. Saoirse Ronan as the lead character of Eilis Lacey is quite phenomenal (I reckon she will definitely be a contender for an Oscar). It's an Irish-American story set in 1952 and I think it will resonate with many, if you get a chance do go and see it!
I had a lovely evening but then switched on the TV when I came home and saw the horrific news of the terrorist attacks happening in Paris. My thoughts are with the people of France today.
