As Brooklyn began gathering momentum in 2015, it lead many people to assume it was a British film however considering the direction, the lead actor and the original writer of the story are Irish, we would consider it 100% our own.
Rather disappointingly, it's been brought to our attention that Brooklyn is currently listed under 'Best of British' on Netflix.
Twitter user Aoife Lawlor notified us to the scandalous placement of our favourite film.
Twitter user Paulie B also found the same result while on a flight, which is extremely disheartening.#Brooklyn is down under the 'Great Britain' category on @NetflixUK......fix that shit now. pic.twitter.com/2zhAl6lB7B

@Aoife_Lawlor @JOEdotie @Herdotie same on @British_Airways :( pic.twitter.com/oBtQVm2Vn8 — Paulie B (@RiotPaulie) September 17, 2016Being the nosy parker I am, I logged onto my own Netflix and found that, it is in fact, listed under British movies...
Meanwhile, the search 'Irish movies' even more sadly, holds no movies at all.
Following on from that, I searched the Wikipedia page of Brooklyn, only to find that Irish is the first name to describe the film. Hmmmm.
What's the deal Netflix? Why do you hate us?
Have you seen anything else deemed British that is clearly Irish? If you have something you'd like to share with us, get us on Twitter here, on Facebook here or you can drop a line to hello@her.ie.Explore more on these topics:
