Drawing on his own memories, lauded director Kenneth Branagh presents a powerful but surprisingly light-hearted family drama set during the Northern Irish Troubles. It is 1969; young Buddy (Jude Hill) has a loving Protestant family, a street full of mates, and an innocent crush on a Catholic girl in his class. All his family has ever known is life in a Belfast terrace. However, as the violence worsens, Pa (Jamie Dornan) insists they move, maybe to Australia. Judi Dench, Ciaran Hinds and Caitriona Balfe as Buddy’s tough-minded Ma round out a remarkable ensemble. “Belfast” was the winner of the Audience Award at the Toronto International Film Festival.
