[arielreyes]

So classy, so elegant so effortlessly charming aaaah love her

[Steve-it]

God, I love everything about Saoirse: She's charming, beautiful, humble, and so talented. And she has the coolest accent I've ever heard.

4:07 I think I'm experiencing grief learning that we could have had Saoirse and Kate McKinnon being Weird Barbies together for 20 minutes

[joeylaird]

It’s so refreshing to see someone so grounded and cool after being in the industry for so long.

[Nerak]

Her as Luna would’ve been good. But on another note GIVE HER AN AWARD GODDAMNIT

[tinahairston]

I love her and can listen to her just talk all day!!

[Bookdragonfoodie]

Wow 4 oscar nominations is so impressive, especially for someone so young. She’s such a wonderful actress. I’ve lived her in everything I’ve seen her in. She was the best Jo ever and Gerwig’s Little Women was the best version in my opinion

[fogmasterfresh]

So proud of Saoirse, what a talent and great human being. My Dad was her Dads Scout Leader in Dublin years ago so we're always rooting for her

[kittykathy]

She’s so talented. And I love her Irish brogue.🥰

[willwright]

Love this girl. "Hanna" from 2011 with Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett is one of my favorite movies.

[lizziehan]

One of the greatest actresses today...Atonement and Brooklyn are two of my favourite movies.

[RobinaB]

She's so smart and lovely. Those earrings are gorgeous.

[AlizMari]

One of my favorite movies is The Lovely Bones. She is so talented and underrated. I think that was one of the best castings I've ever seen. Stanley Tucci said that he'd never play a dark character again after being in that movie.

[meganbosco]

Saoirse ❤s Jim Dale!!! He’s the best audiobook narrator of all time, certainly the perfect pick for HP series

[SusanMBux]

her role in the Lovely Bones did it for me.. after that movie I knew she was going to BIG! Looking forward to watching the Blitz this Sunday! Lovely Irish actress!

[Wallflowerpm]

Love her! She’s so talented and so beautiful, witty, and funny. And her nails are stunning !!

[Jellyfish]

Lady bird is the first movie I saw her in and I fell in love with her as a person and actress. She’s amazing

[kenc]

The lovely bones movie still gets me to this day. Saoirse Ronan is very gifted with acting.

[jasperslife]

I’ll be seeing this movie tonight! I will always support saoirse in any movie she’s in. Such an amazing actress and cannot wait to see her in this film.
