Leave your thoughts about A Belfast Story.
| Total FilmKevin HarleyDebut director Nathan Todd's intermittently convincing reflection on the Troubles. |
| Birmingham Mail Graham YoungWith lines like 'Nobody is ever happy until they are grieving again', [Colm] Meaney is at his best simply talking to himself, trying to make sense of a generation of madness. |
| Time OutCath ClarkeAs a snapshot of modern Belfast, the point is that horrors of the past are still present. But honestly, this isn't exactly awash with moral ambiguity. |
| Empire MagazineAngie ErrigoA thriller that means well but falls some way short of thrilling. |
| UTVBrian Henry Martin"We need something new" says Meaney's world-weary cop to himself in one strange scene, "Not the same old thing. Please God, not the same old pattern!", which made me think, was he talking about the escalating murders or the slumping script? |
| GuardianSteve RoseThe plot scatters too many pieces about, putting the film's star off screen for long stretches. |
| User ReviewAllan BGreat film enjoyed it from start to finish |
| User ReviewJosh WThis is one of the best films I've seen in a long time. |
| User ReviewBob Ha must see film for anyone from Belfast. you need to have been raised with the stories of the past to realize how deep this film really is. |
| User ReviewBen HA good story about the problems in N.Ireland, however a bit one sided in my opinion |
