Vancity Theatre, 1181 Seymour, Vancouver Lured from Ireland by the American Dream, Eilis (Saoirse Ronan) instead lands in a hardscrabble reality of cramped boarding houses and grungy dancehalls. As homesickness grips her, she’s also torn between two admirers (Domhnall Gleeson and Emory Cohen).

"Classily and classically crafted in the best sense."—Hollywood Reporter
