Featuring an incredibly talented and dynamic ensemble cast that has been nominated for Critics Choice® and SAG® Awards, the “unforgettable” (Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter) film that top critics and audiences can’t stop talking about stars BAFTA Award® winner Caitríona Balfe (Outlander), Academy Award® winner Judi Dench (No Time to Die), Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades of Grey franchise), Ciarán Hinds (Harry Potter franchise), Colin Morgan (Legend) and rising star Jude Hill in his feature film debut. Winner of more audience awards than any film this year, BELFAST has been nominated for over 195 awards to-date including 11 Critic’s Choice Awards® and a total of 13 Best Picture nominations as well as PGA® and DGA®Awards nominations for Branagh.
BELFAST is a poignant story of love, laughter and loss in one boy’s childhood amid the music and social tumult of the late 1960s. Buddy’s family lives in a largely Protestant district with a few Catholic families, but one day his community and everything he thought he understood about life is suddenly turned upside down. Buddy’s family gets caught in the mayhem and must decide to stay or leave the only place they have ever called home. Through it all, his passionate parents (Balfe and Dornan) and quick-witted grandparents (Dench and Hinds) keep the joy alive through music and the magic of movies in this feel-good story that reminds us that no matter how far you go, you never forget where you came from.
