In their Telluride Film Festival review, Deadline’s Pete Hammond says, “As noted the black and white cinematography is stunning, along with very impressive production design from Jim Clay another frequent artisan Branagh works with (the entire Belfast neighborhood was reconstructed in England). The sound track comes mostly from another Belfast native, Van Morrison who contributed eight songs from his archive plus a new one. There is no question it adds significantly to the sound and feel of this terrific film. It is one of the year’s best movies, no doubt.”
Written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Kenneth 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.
The cast includes Caitriona Balfe, Judi Dench, Jamie Dornan, Ciaran Hinds, Jude Hill. the film is from producers Kenneth Branagh, Laura Berwick, Becca Kovacik, Tamar Thomas
