MOVIE: Belfast
NOW Playing
Kenneth Branagh writes and directs a love letter to his hometown in his latest movie 'Belfast.' The film, shot almost entirely in Black & White focuses on Northern Ireland's civil war known as "The Troubles" -- a bleak time from 1969 to the late 1990s. At the heart of the movie is 9-year-old Buddy, a wee lad whose family is being torn apart by the conflict. Actor Jude Hall who plays Buddy and steals every scene portraying the life of a young Branagh. His parents are brilliantly played by Jamie Dornan and Catriona Balfe. 'Belfast', my favorite film of the year will tug at your heart and leave you wanting more!! Now playing in Bay Area theatres.
