Really simple, basic plot in my view but one that manages to avoid cliches about homesickness and romance at the same time. What makes the film noteworthy for me is the acting, and in particular the performance of Saoirse Ronan. I'm really looking forward to seeing some of her other films moving forward.

I'm just glad someone's finally tackling Brooklyn.
