WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:
"There are not enough platitudes to heap on the performance Branagh coached out of [Jude] Hill...his enthusiasm carries so much of the movie that whenever fear or sadness get the better of him, it feels more pronounced and heartbreaking."- Monica Castillo-The Playlist ★★★★★
'Kenneth Branagh's "Belfast" is a true love letter to the people who stayed, who left and to all who still hold Belfast dear. "Belfast" is truly a jewel of a film."- Leah Sydney-Showbiz 411
