Belfast film 19:46 - Jan 24 with 879 viewsbluelagos

Saw it last night, well worth watching / trip to the cinema. Moving, eye opening, thoroughly depressing and heart warming too.

Mrs BBM mentioned this film to me earlier today. I think I might just give it a go

We saw it Sunday as well. Pretty gritty/powerful, Lady Dollers (who is Irish) was in tears at the end.

Not much of a story in all honesty, in the traditional sense of a plot/story arc, just a horrible time for those involved, with the odd bit of relief like the trip to the cinema or playing basketball together in the park.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

We went on Sunday. Thoroughly enjoyed it - great cast and acting, brilliantly directed, Van Morrison music and, as you say, very moving. Indeed I was struggling to hold back the tears at the end.

I think the lack of a strong plot is partly what I enjoyed. Just a brutally honest window into the life of an ordinary family at the start of the troubles.

As I was born in Belfast, I should watch it, although I find most movies about the troubles very depressing.

Indeed, wasn't a criticism just unusual, and added to the realism of course.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Branagh was quite revealing when he spoke on the RTE Late Late Show.
