My wife and I saw this Friday night and really liked it. Great cinematography and story. Love that most of it was in black and white. Props to Kenneth Branagh.

Too much good stuff
I know critics and most people really liked Belfast, but it left me flat. First off, it moves at a snail's pace. Secondly, considering this is a story revolving around violence and uprisings, there are very few scenes of violence, and those were played rather meekly, almost cartoonish IMO. And why in the world did the mother risk their lives by making her son return the stolen box of wash powder in the middle of a violent riot?
The film basically boils a complex 30-year conflict that started with civil rights protests down to a vague problem of “bloody religion” as one character put it. Just seemed a little too simple and feel-goody for me.
