Rated
TBC (for some violence and strong language.)
Directed by Kenneth Branagh
Starring Caitriona Balfe, Jamie Dornan, Ciarán Hinds, Lara McDonnell, Jude Hill, Judi Dench
BELFAST is a movie straight from Branagh's own experience. A nine-year-old boy must chart a path towards adulthood through a world that has suddenly turned upside down. His stable and loving community and everything he thought he understood about life is changed forever but joy, laughter, music and the formative magic of the movies remain.
"No wonder Kenneth Branagh's funny, touching and vital look at his own coming of age in turbulent Northern Ireland is the Oscar frontrunner for Best Picture. No movie this year cuts a clearer, truer path of the heart. It's his personal best." Peter Travers
