Belfast Reviews

magnificent! conflict through the eyes of children. i knew things were getting worse & worse & yet i was overcome by the beautiful innocence with which the story is told. Buddy has my heart forever. there were bits where the symbolism was kinda overexaggerated tho.

A simple story told perfectly. Buddy is adorable and believable, his lived experience captured that of many children growing up during the early 60s. Beautifully shot and well paced

Its because of films like this, I didn’t tell my ex girlfriend’s Irish and protestant dad that I was catholic.

So cutee

Educative and nice touching story

THE BEST!!

A really nice story

A simple plot which got the message across well. The simplicity both worked in its favour and against, but overall it was a decent movie with beautiful cinematography.

One of the best black and white scenes

excelente!!

Very boring and slow

9.4/10

7/10

for the ones who stayed / for the ones who left / & for the ones who were lost

absolutely gorgeous cinematography, and a beautiful soundtrack to go alongside it. the performances were fantastic. i'm not all too familiar with the troubles, but you don't need to be to appreciate the beauty of this film.

It has Colin Morgan in it (he should’ve got a villain arc in Merlin). Wdy think. Also, empathetic telling of the Troubles and Belfast at the time. Definitely a good decision to make it b&w (mostly). Love the clever colouration atps too!

It’s alright, doesn’t happen much tho

Wow, it was such a good film and the picture of the film was beautiful

Kenneth Branagh continues to be a genius, Jude Hill might be the best child actor I’ve ever seen, and Caitriona Balfe deserve much more work. A phenomenal, flawless film which depicts life in all its conflict and charm.

I love this movie and the story line.
