A little over a year ago, the Irish-British-Canadian co-production Brooklyn was greeted at its Sundance Festival premiere by a standing ovation that set off a fierce bidding war for distribution rights won by Fox Searchlight. Released in late November 2015, the film has drawn Oscar nominations for Best Picture, for Nick Hornby’s screenplay of Colm Tóibín’s novel, and for Saoirse Ronan’s performance as a young woman who leaves her Irish home in the early 1950s for a new life in New York.
