I’m really pleased that Catriona Balfe will get the recognition she deserves as an actress. I’ve always loved her in Outlander. I may actually mask up and go to a cinema to see this. I didn’t intend to set foot in a cinema for the foreseeable future but I don’t really want to wait for it to come out on dvd.

I enjoyed it too but it’s definitely one to see at the cinema rather than the t.v screen.

My sisters and I went to see Belfast on Friday afternoon, thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend.

I've just noticed it says 'courtesy of Sky Atlantic' so it must be something on there

Thanks - I’ll consult google - it could have been that excellent Brexit drama with Benedict Cumberbatch as Cummings

I’m sure you’ll enjoy Belfast, it’s a good movie

I’m going to see Belfast this evening and looking forward to it!

Well I've been a bit sad! blush Kenneth B was on the Graham Norton Show and they showed this pic of him playing Boris. I didn't catch what the film or series was. I wanted to send it to my sister to see if she could guess who it was, so I took a snap.

Kate1949- where is that photograph from please

I can't wait to see this. Kenneth is great. He looks amazing as Boris.

It’s a great film. The boy a genius

I saw it at the weekend with DH. We both loved it. There wasn't a sound from the audience throughout the film - and when the credits went up at the end no one moved. It was as if we were all held spellbound.
The acting was outstanding - and that wee boy! What a great performance.

Kenneth Branagh is so talented.
I first saw him in the "Billy" plays set in Belfast during the Troubles. Such great acting.

My grandson and I saw this at the weekend. Excellent film and must surely be shortlisted for awards.

The reviews I've read all say it's wonderful, I'd like to see it, great cast, plus music from Van Morrison sounds like my type of film.

I went to see this film with a friend this afternoon. It was produced by Kenneth Branagh and is set in 1969 and semi-autobiographical. It has a very strong cast with Jamie Dornan, Judi Dench and Ciaran Hinds but a newcomer, a little boy called Jude Hill, steals every scene he is in. We both enjoyed it very much including the music by Van Morrison and a great performance of Everlasting Love by Jamie Dornan.
