The BAFTA winner is on iPlayer, but not for much longer.
A beloved post-war drama has been celebrated as one of the most beautiful movies ever made. The film charts the journey of a young Irish woman navigating life between two contrasting worlds during the 1950s. Both critics and viewers have lauded its emotional depth and enduring appeal. With an exceptional 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Brooklyn makes for ideal weekend viewing.
The film is currently available to stream at no cost on BBC iPlayer, but its days are numbered. As of today , there are just 16 days remaining to watch it. Set in the 1950s, Saoirse Ronan portrays a young Irishwoman, Eilis Lace, who departs her small town in search of a better life in New York City. While she initially battles homesickness, she slowly settles in.
Eilis ultimately discovers romance in Brooklyn and welcomes her newfound freedom. Yet an unexpected family crisis summons her home to Ireland, where she finds herself drawn back into the existence she'd abandoned. Torn between her history and her destiny, Eilis faces a choice between two nations and the markedly different paths each presents.
Reviews Brooklyn is the 2015 BAFTA winner for Best British Film. The film was also nominated for three Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actress , and Best Adapted Screenplay. 'In short, Brooklyn is one of the very best films of the past decade and worth looking back on,' wrote Dave Giannini for InSession Film.
Awarding the film five out of five stars, Don Shanahan from Film Obsessive shared: 'Brooklyn is a forthright, approachable, and esteemed historical drama where the dignity and honesty soar to heavenly heights to shine on the plights of love and independence.' Viewers were equally effusive in their praise for the film.
One remarked: 'Beautiful story. One of the best movies. Moving.' Another chimed in: 'It's a masterpiece, and profoundly moving, especially if you're an immigrant yourself. The closing is one of the most beautiful romantic scenes ever. In my opinion.' Finally, one viewer commented: 'One of the most beautiful movies ever made. Colours, music, and reticence punctuate throughout. I have watched the scene in the dining room of the church 7,351,212 times.'
