Unsere Erinnerungen machen uns zu dem, was wir sind
Sommer 1969 in der nordirischen Hauptstadt. Der neunjährige Buddy, Sohn einer typischen Familie aus der Arbeiterklasse, liebt Kinobesuche, Matchbox-Autos und seine hingebungsvollen Großeltern, doch als die gesellschaftspolitischen Spannungen in Belfast eskalieren und es sogar in der sonst so harmonischen Nachbarschaft zu Gewaltausbrüchen kommt, findet seine idyllische Kindheit ein jähes Ende.

“Why did you take that washing powder?” “It’s biological.” And I believe in Caitríona Balfe supremacy.
Was lucky enough to snag tickets to this at London Film Festival. It’s been over a month now since I saw it and the scene featuring Everlasting Love has been living in my head rent free ever since. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea but you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone that can’t relate to the family in some way. Best ensemble and picture? Here’s hoping because the cast worked seamlessly together and their bond on and off screen is evident (and Jamie along with the rest of the cast sat and watched it with us.. again.. literally my biggest achievements and flexes in life are being able to watch the film with him a few rows away and on the screen idc idc)
Like CGI photos of your childhood: technically well-made, but too polished to feel authentic. I'm sure this semi-autobiographical film was a passion project for Kenneth Branagh and I'm glad he could get it off his cinematic chest, but, tbh, I was more into the brief, vintage news clips they showed in the background. Now let's see a film based on the Boney M. song...
This wasn't bad but I feel the Buddy character was, largely, ripped off from Jojo Rabbit.
