Film: “Brooklyn” (to be discussed)
Description: Director John Crowley and written by Nick Hornby. The movie feels like a result of a child or grandchild's inquiry into the lives of a previous generation. How did Mom and Dad meet? It is quite a tale strung together by chance, choice and perhaps a touch of grace. The movie was nominated for a number of awards, including Best Picture, and Best Actress (Saoirse Ronan) in 2015. It is about a young girl from Ireland who leaves home to escape the narrowness and limited opportunities of her hometown and what she encounters in Brooklyn.
