With Saorise Ronan being an actress since she was nine years old, it is safe to assume that there is a movie out there for just about any mood. With these films being available across multiple streaming platforms including Hulu, Apple TV+, and Netflix, there is something for everyone in her filmography.
The Lovely Bones
If you think the FNAF movie won’t be scary or horrifying because it’s PG-13, then you’ve never seen this other PG-13 movie that followed a child killer and his victims that fought for justice from the afterlife and I am jealous of you bc I have not recovered from The Lovely Bones pic.twitter.com/StYzhFVYX4

If you’re in the mood for something to absolutely scare the pants off of you then this is the film for you. Following a young girl, Susie Salmon, who has been the victim of a murder, the film takes place from her perspective as she watches over her family from purgatory and tries to help them figure out who took her life.
Even though The Lovely Bones is one of Ronan’s early films, it is a brilliantly scary film with many twists and turns along the way. Not only is the plot itself horrifying, but the sets, coloring, and acting all help to create an eerie feeling that follows the film through its insane finale.
The Lovely Bones is available on Hulu with a Max extension as well as Amazon Prime Video.
The Grand Budapest Hotel
I was just talking about this with someone, but I think Grand Budapest Hotel is my favorite Wes Anderson film specifically because its best visual punchlines are low-brow Looney Tunes gags. Like Gustave hauling ass out of the back of the scene after getting interrogated. https://t.co/dk6SZuj42j pic.twitter.com/L26xrhs1Hb

Brooklyn

Released in 2015, Brooklyn is the perfect film to watch if you are looking for something romantic and emotional. In this film, Saorise Ronan plays the leading lady, an Irish immigrant coming to America in the 1950s. After settling in Brooklyn, she meets an Italian man whom she falls in love with. She must decide to choose between her homeland and the life she built for herself in America.
This story is heartbreaking, and true for many Irish immigrants at that time. It is a beautiful period piece and truly captures the essence of Brooklyn during that time period as well as what it was like for immigrants arriving in America. The storyline between Saorise and her counterpart, Emory Cohen, is hauntingly beautiful. If you are looking for something to tug at your heart strings and make you believe in love this is the film for you!
You can stream Brooklyn on Hulu with a Max add on or Amazon Prime Video.
Foe
Foe five stars masterpiece best movie of all time pic.twitter.com/G1fOx8afj3

Need a good cry? Then Foe is the movie for you. Taking place in a dystopian future, the story begins when the main characters Hen and Junior, played by Saoirse Ronon and Paul Mescal respectively, have their lives interrupted when a stranger turns up at their farm and offers Junior a job on a space station.
This movie has a complete twist that makes the movie all that more devastating. While the couple is having relationship issues from the beginning, the audience really is sucked into their lives and rooting for the couple. Paul Mescal and Saorise Ronan have so much chemistry, their relationship transverse through the screen. The dreary midwestern setting juxtaposed with the tense action within the film makes for a powerful storyline that will have you in tears by the end.
Foe is available to stream it on Amazon Prime Video or rent it on Apple TV.
