'Brooklyn' Cast Gets Homesick, Too; Here's How They Deal with It

Saoirse Ronan leads the big screen adaptation of Colm Tóibín's novel Brooklyn as Eilis Lacey, a young woman who decides to leave her family behind in Ireland for the promise and opportunity in America. Thanks to Father Flood (Jim Broadbent), Eilis has a job and a place to stay, but she still has a tough time building a life for herself so far from home. It isn't until a charming, sweet Italian man named Tony (Emory Cohen) steps in and sweeps her off her feet that Eilis starts to feel like she's living her own American dream. However, when a family tragedy strikes, Eilis is forced to take a step back and reassess where she should build a future for herself. Eilis is an extremely driven person, but no matter how much progress she makes, she's always dealing with a degree of homesickness. In honor of Brooklyn's Canadian Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival back in September, I got the opportunity to sit down with Ronan, Cohen and Domhnall Gleeson to discuss what they get most homesick for and what they do to cope with it. Check out what they said in this video interview and keep an eye out for more on Brooklyn as it hits select theaters on November 4th and then expands over the next few weeks.
