From lauded director Kenneth Branagh, and starring an acclaimed ensemble cast, Belfast is a personal and joyful story about the power of memory, set in late 1960s Northern Ireland.
At the centre of the film is Buddy, a young boy on the cusp of adolescence, whose life is filled with familial love, childhood hijinks, and a blossoming romance.
Yet, with his beloved hometown caught up in increasing turmoil, his family faces a momentous choice: hope the conflict will pass or leave everything they know behind for a new life.

★★★★★ The Times
‘It’s a film of formal beauty, letter-perfect performances, complex and textured writing.’
★★★★ Evening Standard
‘Branagh’s memory piece is unabashedly sentimental but undeniably powerful.’
