Belfast

Buddy is nine on a street in Belfast in 1969, and the street acquires a barricade. Branagh shoots the memory in black and white and lets the movies Buddy sees stay in color. Jude Hill plays the boy who understands the riot before he understands the reason. Caitríona Balfe and Jamie Dornan are the parents arguing about whether to leave. The Focus trailer is the street party and the window. The film is a family deciding what “home” still means.
