I like how personal and small the film looks. I'm reading this type of comments under this video a lot. It feels like the actors are small and it makes it more authentic
Looks awesome with a super talented cast. And that is a huge understatement. I’m so mad at myself that I didn’t know about this movie before. Greetings and best regards from Florida USA.
I'm not of Irish descent but I saw the passion the director put behind this film. It's for everyone who had to immigrate to a foreign country leaving their embattled neighborhood or city behind. Really well made.
It will be nominated for the top categories at the major awards in early 2022, for certain. Will get nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars & Golden Globes.
This is his most personal film. He was born in Belfast, he grew up there, this is the story of Belfast from his point of view. And everyone in the main cast member are Irish except for Judi Dench cuz she's British
I just watched this on my flight to my second home, which is 5000 miles away from where I was born and raised... I don't know if the planes bring you closer to the God or something, but this touched me really deeply and brought back so many childhood memories... Grateful to everyone who made this beautiful piece of art possible!
Dame Judi is a superstar. She goes on holiday to the same place as my extended family every year. When the teenage girls from our group came across her having a cup of tea on the terrace of the local restaurant, she was gracious enough to allow them to take a photo with her. How many actors of her age have superstar appeal for 13-15 year-olds? Not many I would think.
Jamie Dornan is a terrific actor when he was given the right script and good director like Kenneth Branagh. This looks good, I hope he does well in this
@@AngelofMusic04 Barb & Star is one of the worst movies I have ever watched. Not funny at all, even though it tries really hard to be funny. The acting is mediocre and the jokes and the plot are crap. I don't know why Jamie does crappy movies like this. Since the end of 50 Shades he's done 2 movies that were good: My Dinner With Herve & Trolls. He needs a good script and judging by the trailer it looks like he finally found one.
The Book of Truth When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. "Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations - bound as one, at its very core - will all take place at the same time." "Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out"
I saw the movie, this is one of Kenneth Branagh's best movie, my faith in him as a director has fully returned after he directed an atrocious movie that destroyed my childhood book truly. He's a talented director, Cinderella, Thor, every Shakespeare adaptation he has done and now Belfast, i love the guy so much. If anyone that's perfect in making more Shakespeare movies, Branagh is that person
Just watched this film today at the Toronto International Film Festival. I'm always a sucker for a good coming-of-age story, but this one was by far one of the best I've seen. It's an artistic film that really immereses you in the perspective of the boy (outstanding performance by the young Jude Hill) as he struggles to navigate both conflict within his family and that of the early years of the Troubles. Kenneth Branagh was actually here for a talk-back afterwards and I could really feel that it was a very personal project for him, inspired by his own childhood experiences. The film also has a uniquely haunting soundtrack brilliantly balanced with bits of humour. The choice to present it in black and white was also an excellent move by Branagh. Outstanding performances all around, but Catriona Balfe's in particular stood out. Wanted to rewatch it as soon as I left the auditorium. Much more to dissect!
Can I ask about your background? Did you have a knowledge of Belfast and the Troubles before you saw this film? I'm keen to know how International audiences will respond to the accents, the storyline and the history of NI.
@@brendanfisher No, I didn't really know much about the Troubles prior to seeing the film. I still don't, but I knew vaguely that the conflict had religious and nationalistic motivations that were complex and dated back centuries ago. But for me the film was far from political in tone. For others who have lived through the Troubles, it might be a different experience watching it, but for me, the heart of the film was the personal and familial struggles at being uprooted from home. I myself was an immigrant as a child and really identified with those aspects of the story. It was also just very beautifully written and shot. I'm also just a really big fan of Sir Ken. But as a cinephile I do love learning about different cultures and periods through film. The audience at my screening was also really enthusiastic and responsive. I know some initial reviews from the US said there should have been subtitles because of the unintelligibility of the NI accent, but I used to dabble in acting and had practiced a bunch of different accents so the NI dialect wasn't a problem for me to understand. In fact I liked the authenticity it gave to the film.
Agree ...........just saw the movie tonight!!! Reminders you how important family, community and how difficult a decision it is when it is time to leave (what our immigrants go through!)
This theme tune was my own ....when I left my home in Britain, 1967, to travel the world, working. This promises to be the most exciting film of the year. Love Caitriona Balfe, my favourite, along with those other great actors. Wow! Cannot wait to see this one.
My Mom was raised on the Falls Road, Belfast. A historic Irish hold out. Generations back are from Ireland. She was 15 at this period film and Moved here at 30. She is 94 now. I can't wait to take her. I am crying at the trailer to see, feel how it was for her. :-''''(. One Ireland!
I’m so happy to see Catriona Balfe in a film like this. The trailer looks amazing as I am sure the film will be. I started seeing Balfe in Outlander and she is extraordinary. Finally she hopefully will get her break.
I can't wait to see this movie. I love Caitriona Balfe, she's incredible on Outlander. And Jamie Dornan, has been needing the right role to show what an incredible actor he really is (Like he did in The Fall. ) This film looks like it could be his time to finally shine!! And with Branagh at the helm, I bet the movie is as good as it looks.
I’m fortunate enough to have grown up in Belfast post-peace process, and I showed this trailer to my mother who was usually very skeptical when it came to movies about the troubles- she said it’s like they’ve taken the memories in her head and put them onto film. Seriously, even if you’re not from Belfast; you’re not going to want to miss this. At least it’s not got Brad Pitt in it this time!
Aye Jack, I can agree with your Mam. The troubles that started in 69 saw many killed on both sides. Before I came to Australia I had a friend in Belfast I went to see in early 1971 before I left for Australia.. We were walking and talking and I was just covered in his blood. we were 12 yrs old. It is very sad. I want to watch the movie, but I will wait for the DVD as I know I will cry.
@@jamesmackay7534 Grown man in America here, Jack. Your post just brought me to tears. No shame in crying in the theater, my friend. You won't be alone.
This movie looks so good... I want Oscar nominations for everyone. Dornan for Best Actor, Balfe for Best Actress, and Dench, Hinds and the little boy for Supporting. I see that Jamie Dornan sings in this... is that him singing "Everlasting Love" in the trailer? The clip where he sings, looking at his mouth movement, it looks like he is singing this song.
Just finally sat down and watched this, what a wonderful powerful film and wonderfully acted, not quite the same era but similar thing, Born in Northern Ireland and moved to England as a young 11 year old with my family in 1978, it was almost 40 years before I returned and wont be the last time, Hats off to Kenneth Branagh.
Kenneth Branagh is not only a great actor but such an underrated director too, and Im glad he’s starting to get the recognition as a top filmmaker that he deserves. Can’t wait for this, it looks beautiful.
Artemis Fowl was garbage but I would give him a pass for that because he directed other great movies such as Cinderella, Thor, Murder On The Orient Express, and Hamlet. He's an underrated director and surprisingly he made one of, if not the best Disney live action adaptation movie ever and my personal favourite. Gotta thank Branagh for that
This just sent my hype for this sky rocketing. I can see this being a serious Awards Contender with Acting Noms for Balfe, Dench, Dornan, Hinds. This looks great and I can't wait. "If they can't understand you then they're not listening" I'm crying wayyyyyy too hard at that line. Kenneth Branagh looks to have delivered another great film. Bring on Nov. 12th.
Im gutted. Like its a 76 in Metacritic but if its in the same vein as Green Book and Billy Eliott (which had more or less the same rating), then i am in! Go! Sucks that a good film is rated by numbers.
@@morrisoniice Agree about the ratings. But metacritic gave that Barb and Star Vista Del Mar thingy a 64! I know it's a completely different genre and shouldn't be compared, but if that movie is viewed just 12 points below Belfast, critic's opinion is not only questionable, but dowright incomprehensible. I'm hoping for the numbers that will count in the longrun and that's box office and/or oscar nominations. I've got fingers crossed for both.
One of the most moving and affecting films I’ve seen in a long time. I haven’t even stepped foot in Belfast but could relate so much to Buddy’s bond with his grandparents and the true meaning of home. I was a sobbing mess by the end! Thank you and bravo Kenneth Branaugh 👏🏼
Hyped. Hyped for the whole thing. One moment I will be looking forward to is the scene between Jamie Dornan and Colin Morgan… those who watched The Fall will understand lmao
Exactly. BIG Colin Morgan fan, watch The Fall and they are here together again! I still haven't seen this yet, but yeah- that scene will be very interesting since Colin was a Catholic boy growing up in Armagh during "The Troubles" and he had to worry about being blown up on his way to school!
Kenneth Branagh was born in Belfast and lived there until he was 9. His family were Protestants and they moved to England in 1969 when things got real bad in the North. Based on this trailer, this is not only a personal story, but a semi autobiographical one. Looking forward to seeing it
I am so so happy to see Colin Morgan making his appearance in this!!! I love his acting but we don't get to see him often. Love for the Cait as well. She is such a talented actress. Love her in the Outlander and this looks amazing!!
This looks like a goodie. So glad Jamie is getting a chance to be appreciated for his talent. He got loads of praise for The Fall, but hasn't since the 50's trilogy, although I think he deserved praise for Christian Grey. That he got through some of those lines and I as a viewer didn't "roll my eyes" says alot for this talent. Can't wait to see this movie.
colin morgan (merlin, humans, the fall) rejoins his previous costars jamie dornan and ciarán hinds in this exciting new film by kenneth branagh, playing the seemingly antagonistic billy clanton
I'm excited to watch this movie from Kenneth Branagh. My whole family is from Ulster. My mum left in 1962 before the troubles got bad, but left behind everyone else. We are an Orange and Green family, with my Grandfather being Catholic and my Grandmother being a Protestant. So glad that they cast Jamie Dornan in this role. He's a great actor and I feel he'll just get better with age.
Most of my ancestors are Ulster Irish my dad's father Irish Catholic left 1921 during the Civil War, my Catholic grandmother, was convinced in Belfast, my mom's side several branches of Protestant from Donegal, Armagh, Antrim left from the 1840s-1860s. I want to see this movie. When I was a wee child of 3 I thought I was mixed race because I was of mixed colour, Orange and Green.
@@bernmcnicholl8345 haha, but you were basically a child of "mixed color" for all extensive purposes. :) I was lucky not to grow up like that, but my mum lost her dad she was 6 and her mum when she was 8. Her and her four younger siblings were placed in Nazareth House and Lodge in Belfast until full age. Basically no one would or could take the kids because of the background. It was a sad time back in the day.
My ex, (RIP), my kids father, was born in Belfast, and he had stories to tell about growing up there. He moved to Canada in 1972 or 73, with his mum. His dad, also from Belfast, was already here, setting up home & worked as a bartender in an Austrian pub. My daughter went to Belfast 2 years ago, to visit her Aunt & Uncle, who live just outside Belfast. She loved visiting, and took hundreds of pictures. I wouldn't mind going someday with her.
Already seen it last night in theaters. There will never be a movie experience that comes close to being fantastic as this one. It's positive, joyous, encouraging and beautiful.
@@kennethcharlesbranagh7048 I can feel the passion in this movie and it is only a two minute trailer. Congratulations! I wish you every success and I really hope to see it in Greece as well.
Caitriona Balfe from Outlander and Jamie Dornan from FSOG, a random but not so random pairing since they're both Irish. But damn, they're a pair I didn't know I needed. Two of my favorite shows and movies ever. 😍
I got Roma and Jojo Rabbit vibes from seeing this trailer! I'm a big fan of Kenneth Branagh and Judi Dench and I can't wait to see what they'll do next!!!
omg, everything was perfect from the beginning and when Jamie Dornan sings and dance OMG it takes me to the peak. So many emotions and so many strength in the trailer. Cant wait to see from Asia not sure when is it gonna be available to rent or purchase.
This was a huge surprise for me. I thought it was going to be just another Oscar bait movie, and I ended up leaving the theater completely in love with it, wanting to tell stories from my own childhood and the places I've lived in.
Can’t wait to watch this film in Belfast where I lived in 1969 a city I love I came from the country to Belfast in 1967 and fell in love with Belfast, the streets, the humour and most of the people, a city divided by conflict but never divided, I’m tears just watching the trailer what’s it going to be like when I put “me arse” (as they would say in Belfast) on a seat in a Belfast cinema.
Never judge an actor because of a horrendous trilogy that didn't do his talent any justice. He has done other movies that i truly liked, the man can be great in acting if he was given a better material to work with, is that simple
Two of my favorite scenes in the movie: 1. Ma and Pa talking inside the bus, Caitríona Balfe did a stellar performance in that scene; 2. The whole scene with Pop saying to Buddy, "I'm your truth", that made me almost cry.
Looking forward to this. My mom was from Belfast, and I spent summer with my grandparents and extended family in 68 and '69. Eleven or 12 years of age. Made quite an impression. Marching season! The troubles were just starting. Returned every few years in the 80s and 90s. Have an affinity for the place. Still have many cousins there.
Thank you for showing the trailer of BELFAST. I am looking forward to seeing Jamie Dornan's new movie BELFAST and I know Jamie will be good in this movie, Jamie is The Most Talented, Amazing, Gifted & Great Actor.
Just saw the movie tonight. Great movie about community, family and the tough tough decisions all immigrant's have to make when it is time to leave!!! Great movie, great cast!!
My Aunt Mary is in this. Took her 15 years to get onto the big screen but she finally made it. Well done Mary 💪👏👏 She’s the teacher in it 😁
Class!
I like how personal and small the film looks. I'm reading this type of comments under this video a lot. It feels like the actors are small and it makes it more authentic

such an excellent film.
I'm not of Irish descent but I saw the passion the director put behind this film. It's for everyone who had to immigrate to a foreign country leaving their embattled neighborhood or city behind. Really well made.
Except its based on protestant British community 😅
This feels like Kenneth Branagh's most personal film. I can feel the love and passion in every shot of this and it's only the trailer.

Caitriona Balfe is a phenomenal actress. Glad she's receiving the high praise she deserves. 👏⭐🏆
Jamie too, I'm glad that Fifty Shades didn't ruined his career. He has done good performances in other movies that are far better than Fifty Shades
Have you seen the fall with Jamie Dornan as well? 2 seasons.
@@deborahgallery8912 three seasons
I absolutely love her! She a brilliant actress.
Yes, I loved her in Outlander. The cast is stellar.

I don't know if the planes bring you closer to the God or something, but this touched me really deeply and brought back so many childhood memories... Grateful to everyone who made this beautiful piece of art possible!
I loved it recently on a flight and it was a real universal story
Judi Dench’s words of “go now…don’t look back…” gives me goosebumps. This film looks really good
That's Dame Judi Dench, if you don't mind. 😉
@@mamoddo226 you’re absolutely right. Dame Judi Dench. :)
I cried on this scene. Miss my parents who have left and never come back.
Yes so true
Dame Judi is a superstar. She goes on holiday to the same place as my extended family every year.

Erm, Judi Dench? The legend!!

Really like Colin as an actor too. Been watching him since his Merlin days.
I been waiting 56 years for someone to do this...
Kenneth Branagh was born in Belfast and lived there until he was 9. His family were Protestants and they moved to England in 1969 when things got real bad in the North. Based on this trailer, this is not only a personal story, but a semi autobiographical one. Looking forward to seeing it
It sounds as if it cud b a one sided with
It sounds as if it cud b a one sided movie with prodestant branagh and prodestant van Morrison doing the music I think I will give it a miss
@davidbroadley126 it's not one sided at all. And what the hell has van morrison's religion got to do with anything?
Wanted to see Caitriona Balfe. Am now hyped for this film. Gives me Jojo Rabbit vibes
I am so so happy to see Colin Morgan making his appearance in this!!! I love his acting but we don't get to see him often. Love for the Cait as well. She is such a talented actress. Love her in the Outlander and this looks amazing!!
As someone who was born in Belfast, and would occasionally visit there during the weekends, this makes me hyped to see the film!
This looks like a goodie. So glad Jamie is getting a chance to be appreciated for his talent. He got loads of praise for The Fall, but hasn't since the 50's trilogy, although I think he deserved praise for Christian Grey. That he got through some of those lines and I as a viewer didn't "roll my eyes" says alot for this talent. Can't wait to see this movie.
Can’t wait! Kenneth Branagh is a great actor and director. This was shown at cinemacon of this year, didn’t think it would be releasing this year.
colin morgan (merlin, humans, the fall) rejoins his previous costars jamie dornan and ciarán hinds in this exciting new film by kenneth branagh, playing the seemingly antagonistic billy clanton
I'm excited to watch this movie from Kenneth Branagh. My whole family is from Ulster. My mum left in 1962 before the troubles got bad, but left behind everyone else. We are an Orange and Green family, with my Grandfather being Catholic and my Grandmother being a Protestant. So glad that they cast Jamie Dornan in this role. He's a great actor and I feel he'll just get better with age.
Most of my ancestors are Ulster Irish my dad's father Irish Catholic left 1921 during the Civil War, my Catholic grandmother, was convinced in Belfast, my mom's side several branches of Protestant from Donegal, Armagh, Antrim left from the 1840s-1860s. I want to see this movie. When I was a wee child of 3 I thought I was mixed race because I was of mixed colour, Orange and Green.
@@bernmcnicholl8345 haha, but you were basically a child of "mixed color" for all extensive purposes. :) I was lucky not to grow up like that, but my mum lost her dad she was 6 and her mum when she was 8. Her and her four younger siblings were placed in Nazareth House and Lodge in Belfast until full age. Basically no one would or could take the kids because of the background. It was a sad time back in the day.
@@anneann9127 that is so sad to hear, another reason why there was such a diaspora from Ireland. The irony is genetically they are so similar.
My ex, (RIP), my kids father, was born in Belfast, and he had stories to tell about growing up there. He moved to Canada in 1972 or 73, with his mum. His dad, also from Belfast, was already here, setting up home & worked as a bartender in an Austrian pub.
My daughter went to Belfast 2 years ago, to visit her Aunt & Uncle, who live just outside Belfast. She loved visiting, and took hundreds of pictures. I wouldn't mind going someday with her.
Congrats on winning the TIFF People's Choice Audience Award! Can't wait for November 12.
Already seen it last night in theaters.
There will never be a movie experience that comes close to being fantastic as this one. It's positive, joyous, encouraging and beautiful.
That one second clip at the start of Caitriona Balfe dancing has me mesmerized.
OMG! It looks so good! I love it! I hope distributors give wide release to this so we can enjoy it in Greece too.
I’m honored to have you as a fan, thanks for being here all this while, much love ❤️
@@kennethcharlesbranagh7048 I can feel the passion in this movie and it is only a two minute trailer. Congratulations! I wish you every success and I really hope to see it in Greece as well.
@@katerinabunny4047 that’s good, I really appreciate your love and support and I wish you and your family have a wonderful time
Caitriona Balfe from Outlander and Jamie Dornan from FSOG, a random but not so random pairing since they're both Irish. But damn, they're a pair I didn't know I needed. Two of my favorite shows and movies ever. 😍
I'm expecting this movie to be a huge Oscar contender and might as well sweep so many awards.
wow, i think Belfast will get a lot of Osar Nominations,and it's winning me with the cinematography at 1st place !
One of the greatest movies of all time
Jude Hill is amazing
I got Roma and Jojo Rabbit vibes from seeing this trailer! I'm a big fan of Kenneth Branagh and Judi Dench and I can't wait to see what they'll do next!!!
Was looking for this comment! Bravo meh boy!
Brought a year to my eye this one. Brought back memories of my childhood and home land.
JAMIEEEE AND COLINNN REUNITED 🥺🥺
And Conor too!
My mom from Belfast and all of her family still there. Can't wait to see this.
A great cinematic achievement. Just watched this screening at TIFF recently and definitely worthy of People's Choice Award.
Probably an Oscar is coming for Sir Kenneth Branagh....
I am here for Catriona, but even without her this looks amazing. Love how film is bringing back the 60's.
IT LOOKS AMAZING. Also: Caitríona Balfe I want your hand in marriage.
She became a Mum in August. You are a little late...
@@will121 i know and I’m absolutely happy for her! I’m just appreciating beautiful women ❤️
Looks amazing. Glad to see Branagh working non stop as a film director, cannot wait to see this
The movie was fantastic, Judi Dench is my pick for an Oscar, and Jude Hill, that played the young boy deserves an oscar as well.
Jamie Dornan will forever look like he was sculpted. Not to mention he's a talented actor, can't wait to see this!
This movie seems exciting and I hope Branagh does a great job in this movie and it’s one of my most anticipated of November 🙏
omg, everything was perfect from the beginning and when Jamie Dornan sings and dance OMG it takes me to the peak. So many emotions and so many strength in the trailer. Cant wait to see from Asia not sure when is it gonna be available to rent or purchase.
And thanks to every director who makes Jamie Dornan sing. He is a great singer and performer. so excited.
This was a huge surprise for me. I thought it was going to be just another Oscar bait movie, and I ended up leaving the theater completely in love with it, wanting to tell stories from my own childhood and the places I've lived in.
I just can't wait to see Caitriona and Colin. 😍
Can’t wait to watch this film in Belfast where I lived in 1969 a city I love I came from the country to Belfast in 1967 and fell in love with Belfast, the streets, the humour and most of the people, a city divided by conflict but never divided, I’m tears just watching the trailer what’s it going to be like when I put “me arse” (as they would say in Belfast) on a seat in a Belfast cinema.
This movie has gone straight into my top 10 movie list of all time, I absolutely loved it. It is biological! 😃😃
Amazing, only found out about this now and I bloody live in Belfast.
Love the fact Dame Judi Dench is in it. My mum would've loved this lol
Jamie singing 😍
Please please please watch this fantastic film. It funny, emotional, nostalgic and beautifully made.
❤️❤️
I cried this whole movie through😢😢😢😢very heartwarming film
I know this is going to make me cry my eyes out. Makes me proud to be northern irish
This trailer give me goosebumps, can't wait to see the movie❤️
Im excited for Jamie! Hope that this film can help people to understand that he's capable of acting
Right🙏
You should see him in Jadotville his best movie!
I thought he was great in “The Fall” the series with Gillian Anderson.
Never judge an actor because of a horrendous trilogy that didn't do his talent any justice. He has done other movies that i truly liked, the man can be great in acting if he was given a better material to work with, is that simple
This trailer made me cry tears of joy. Its the perfect film trailer in my opinion. This is incredible 💕💕💕
Brings a tear to my eye, My Mother is from the old "Sailor's town" in Belfast. The 60's and 70's were tough times.
Two of my favorite scenes in the movie:
1. Ma and Pa talking inside the bus, Caitríona Balfe did a stellar performance in that scene;
2. The whole scene with Pop saying to Buddy, "I'm your truth", that made me almost cry.
Looking forward to this. My mom was from Belfast, and I spent summer with my grandparents and extended family in 68 and '69. Eleven or 12 years of age. Made quite an impression. Marching season! The troubles were just starting. Returned every few years in the 80s and 90s. Have an affinity for the place. Still have many cousins there.
By and large my favorite film this year. Hope that Caitriona Balfe is nominated for Best Actress, because she gave a great performance here.
This film is a homage to life... Stories and film making... Absolutely beautiful movie... Best movie I have seen for a long time now. 😊
Thank you for showing the trailer of BELFAST. I am looking forward to seeing Jamie Dornan's new movie BELFAST and I know Jamie will be good in this movie, Jamie is The Most Talented, Amazing, Gifted & Great Actor.
A great country, lovely people. Happy times.
This movie got great reviews at The TELLURIDE Film festival so it will definitely be up for nominations come award season....
It was not released in Venice Film Festival.
I think have our Best Cinematography winner right here
This, "Dune" or "The Tragedy of Macbeth".
Cant wait to see Queen Balfe in this movie 😍😍 great casting
I’m honored to have you as a fan, thanks for being here all this while, much love ❤️
Miss you Belfast and see you soon in Theaters
Just saw the movie tonight. Great movie about community, family and the tough tough decisions all immigrant's have to make when it is time to leave!!! Great movie, great cast!!
Hope Ciaran and Jamie to finally get the recognition they both deserve. Hope they both get nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
Jamie Dornan singing Everlasting Love will be the death of me
Saw Belfast today. I’d give it a ten. It’s amazing.
Just saw this in Palo Alto, CA. Three thumbs up, I clapped at the end. (For a bit…I was the only one.)
I'll support Belfast for Oscar. I loved the movie!
Brilliant so excited and cannot wait to see the whole movie. Legendary Jamie Dornan beautiful Caitriona omg love all of them. 👏👏👏
I need to see this film. Sending love to Belfast.
Its from Kenneth Branagh. Perfection.

I remember seeing Colin Morgan as Merlin on TV and now he’s in an Oscar nominated film! so proud!!!
Yeees Merlin🤩🤩🤩
I can't wait to see this. Ken Branagh is brilliant!
How does 1 second of Judi Dench saying “don’t look back” bring me to tears 😭
The trailer looks amazing and I can't wait to watch Belfast

Buzzing for this. Making me want to jump on the ferry and go over for a pint in the crown bar.
