Mot en fond av starten på ”The Troubles” avhandlas en del familjeliv, en del irländska schabloner och en hel del Van Morrison. Mysigt men inte jätteengagerande. En typisk trea.

This isn't anything I probably would've watched if It hadn't been nominated for several Oscars, but I'm so happy I did. I personally love putting myself i another people's shoes and seeing how other people from other places and times live(d) their lives. Learning about the violence in Belfast and how It affected the people was eye-opening and devastating and heartwarming and just so damned beautiful. I loved this and would recommend for any film buff. I give 9 stolen chocolates out of 10.

I loved this film. So so beautiful and heart felt. The little boy was so good and carried the movie in his own humble way. So many beautiful shots in this "sad" black and white way of telling a simple but yet serious story. Definitely worth the Oscar nominations and win. *Very Good

It’s a solid epoch and has great performances by the younger cast. I also enjoyed the more static camera work and intriguing angles that don’t distract from the story. Aside those points, it really has nothing that will stick with you long after the film.

Follows the playbook pretty closely for a project so close to the filmmaker's heart, but wistful sweetness and winning performances make it worthwhile.

A solid mash-up of a historical drama and a coming-of-age movie, that avoids some of the usual genre trappings by focusing on the perspective of a child, but sometimes at the expense of providing context for what's happening.

The most generic autobiographical, deeply personal film you could think of -- a boy growing up in the shaky 1960s as a mere universal tale of lost innocence, good old times at the movies and shit. At least is 98min long and the cast is good, and Van Morrison. But the whole thing is just so flat.

I mean, it’s pleasant to watch and everything but there’s nothing memorable in there. Nothing that’ll stick with you. Could’ve done a bit more with the characters and the plot/context.

I'll start with the good--Balfe was great and the grandfather was funny. I'm not really sure what else there was here. The drama (outside of Balfe) and tension felt very after-school special. The whole thing felt like it couldn't really commit to its premise of viewing the events through the eyes of a child because that would have meant being more subtle about the Troubles. Maybe it's because I'm in the middle of watching Derry Girls and this just feels bland in comparison.

Oldukça gerçek ve esaslı bir film olsa da yönetmen Kenneth Branagh'ın çok kişisel bir film yapması bu eserini izlemeyi biraz güçleştiriyor.

To be honest, this might be the most overrated movie of 2021. I would say the first half hour of Belfast was impressive. But then it slowly dissipates. While Kenneth Branagh did a great job at directing, I can't say the same for his script. By the way, Caitriona Balfe should have received an Oscar nomination. Choosing Judi Dench instead is nonsense.

It's a charming enough movie, with not much to criticize, but also not much to excite. Jude Hill was good as Buddy. The cinematography was nice in a few places. The jazzy score is well done, but the sound track...did they really need to include 10 Van Morrison songs? The only thing I really had a problem with was the central conflict. I think the movie showed its hand a little by pushing so hard for them to leave, and didn't set up a credible enough reason for them to want to stay in Belfast.

One of the biggest surprises for me this year. It’s such a touching movie, handled with so much care by a Kenneth Branagh. It’s beautifully photographed and directed. I dug the soundtrack quite a bit too. I personally think the movie got better and better as it went along and all of the acting was great (LOVED Caitriona Balfe). It’s short, cute, and has a surprising amount of weight and emotion. I love that it’s mostly pretty lighthearted and easily paced. Great film.

Disappointing. I was really looking forward to this movie but it let me down. Ciarán Hinds and Judi Dench are great. However, the movie tries way too hard even as far as being in black and white with a bend toward an unorthodox cinematography style. It’s got all the tricks but it can’t tell a damn story without being cheesy and awkward. It’s a shame too because the subject matter and story should tell itself but the film can’t get out of its own way… C-

A beautiful batch of memories (the present-day in-colour intro is a nice touch) gorgeously shot, lovingly soundtracked, and wonderfully performed. The sharp tonal shifts from brutal violence to charming childhood innocence are jarring and undermine the impact of the former but they feel authentic to the film's recollection patchwork perspective, which Branagh sews perfectly, finding all those sweet spots of significance in the past for the present: "I'm going nowhere you can't find me."

Charmingly joyous, which is a feat given it's set during the Troubles of Northern Ireland of the late 60s. It's not meant to be a hard hitting historical account, it's the memories of a kid. Caitriona Balfe deserved a bunch of awards, she is the "glue" of the film. The kid does well also.
