It was a grim wet Tuesday night when we decided to go to see the film Belfast. It was Mr Branagh's recollections of his 9 year old self in said city in 1969/70. If he says so - I couldn't determine any real Belfast accents nor much of the cynical humour Belfastians are known for.
I do wish I was as thin (well maybe not that thin) as the script but the cinema photography was superb as was the sound. It's a bug bear of mine too when the use English actors to play Irish roles when we have enough home grown talent but I expect Mr Branagh has his circle of luvvies.
The pleasant cinema staff told us to wait a tad as cinema 7 was being covid cleaned.
The cinema was cosy warm and not at all busy. As the Omniplex group rip us off with outrageous prices for ice cream, popcorn, sweets and drinks we brought our own supplies. It was £17 for two to indulge Mr Branagh and to satisfy our curiosity at this Oscar nominated work and for that we got a very comfortable reclining chair in which we lay well toward horizontal in a warm dark comfy theatre.
The experience is worth it for the seating alone. read more
