Cinema: Belfast

Set in the late 60s, Belfast tells the story of nine-year-old Buddy, whose carefree childhood comes to a brutal end when a frenzied mob of Protestants storms up his street, smashing bricks through the windows of the houses belonging to Catholics.
Suddenly, the life Buddy knows, where children play happily in the streets between the terraced houses and neighbours look out for each other, is shattered and his parents need to decide whether to stay amidst the increasing danger or leave behind everything they know and love for a new, safer life.

Directed by Kenneth Branagh, this film features a stellar cast, including Dame Judi Dench, Jamie Dornan, Ciaran Hinds and Caitriona Balfe.
