Im sharing my opinion, which is full of SPOILERS. I did not particularly like this film, partly because of the lack of originality. The main reason however, is that the main character is absolutely unlikeable and inconsistent for me. In details: When she arrives to Brooklyn, she is a shy and closed girl, who is really bad with people. When they go to the Irish dance night she leaves the "new girl", because she is annoying for her. The first sign of selfishness, and also an inconsistent move with the introvert character. She moves back to Ireland, for her mother. The second night she is out and start to flirt with a guy, Jim, despite his husband waiting for her in the USA. Girls in love are not like this. As her relationship evolves with Jim, she stops responding for her husbands letters. Again, who is in love would not do this. The all village is speaking about her and Jim. She is really thinking to stay in Ireland, until the old lady unveil her secret (she is married), and eventually goes back to the states, without spending some more time with her mother (for who she moved back). And than she is just waiting for her husband, like nothing had happened, like she is in love, like she is back for him. Am I missing the point?:)
