Did you think Tony was a rapist at first?


In the beginning of the movie I was bracing for Tony to rape her? He just seemed creepy. Anyone else feel the same way?

Tony creeped me the fck out. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop  He obviously really loved her, and he was sweet...but just a bit too intense.

After like two dates he wants her to meet his family. At the family dinner he starts talking about kids. Then he's pressing her to marry him, because he knows there's a chance she'll change her mind about him once she gets back to Ireland...

As much as I hated the thought of Eillis being stuck in her hometown, I think she would have been better off with Jim. He didn't seem as eager to strong-arm her into a certain life.

"What race are you? If you don't tell me I'll just...assume the worst."

I wasn't sure what to think of him, but never got the vibe he was creepy.
