Brooklyn is a period drama of the best kind. It depicts 1950s Ireland and New York in such a pristine light that I couldn't help but think the film romanticizes its setting too much—and yet I willingly suspended my disbelief, for its earnest, elegant storytelling and the precise performances of its cast. It is touching but not overly sentimental. It is alternately funny, romantic and heartbreaking without ever resorting to excessive melodrama. Its peaceful, reserved tone reflects the quiet determination of its characters in the face of massive changes in their circumstances. While we should be careful not to mistake the neat 1950s of this film with the nuanced reality of our historical past, we should also be grateful for films like this, which capture nostalgia the way it should be: bittersweet but inspiring, appreciative of the past yet enlightening for our present lives.
