A young boy and his working-class Belfast family experience the tumultuous late 1960s.
Beautiful black and white photography with occasional colour sequences give this biographical story a sense of realism and period. Fine direction by Kenneth Branagh, whose childhood story it is, and good performances by the cast, especially Jude Hill as the young boy, Buddy, and Judi Dench in a small but telling role as his grandmother. Recommended.
