Nominated for 7 Oscars! Including: Best Picture, Best Director, and Original Screenplay
Winner of the TIFF 2021 Audience Award. "A coming-of-age drama set during the tumult of late-1960s Northern Ireland, the film follows young Buddy (Jude Hill) as he navigates a landscape of working-class struggle, sweeping cultural changes, and sectarian violence. Buddy dreams of a glamorous future that will whisk him far from the Troubles, but, in the meantime, he finds consolation in his charismatic Pa (Jamie Dornan) and Ma (Caitríona Balfe), and his spry, tale-spinning grandparents (Ciarán Hinds and Judi Dench)." - TIFF
"The story that's told is deeply affecting, and how many films contain five superb performances? This one does." - Wallstreet Journal
"Written, performed, and captured with measured grace, Belfast packs an emotional punch so subtle and slow-burning that you might not recognize its power until it's already gutted you." - The Spool
