It seems almost impossible that Saoirse Ronan is only 30 years old, given that the Irish actress has been giving tremendously moving and intellectually mature performances for literally decades at this point. The four-time Oscar nominee is the rare child star to seamlessly segue into grown-up fare, the most recent of which was the 2024 one-two punch of the Steve McQueen-directed war film "Blitz" and the Nora Fingscheidt-helmed recovery drama "The Outrun."
With the star officially back in awards conversations for those two well-received roles, it's a good time to revisit one of her most acclaimed performances: as Eilis Lacey in the 2015 romantic period drama film "Brooklyn," which you can stream on Max through the end of January. It will leave that streaming service on Jan. 31, so hurry with your rewatch!
