Belfast

It was 1969, and in his mixed, working-class Ireland neighborhood, young Buddy (Jude Hill) at least knew no shortage of indulgent affection from his mom (Catriona Balfe) and grandparents (Judi Dench, Ciarán Hinds). However, the rising of the Troubles looked to splinter life in his community-and push his oft-absent dad (Jamie Dornan) into taking a stand. Moving and deeply personal effort for writer-director Kenneth Branagh also stars Colin Morgan, Olive Tennant. 97 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
