Belfast (2021)

Lovely slice of life set in late-'60s Belfast, when the Troubles were beginning. It's a small film confined to a small neighborhood, but it's set in such a huge point in history that it feels somehow teensy. Maybe that's proper. After all, big events are experienced on a small scale and this one is being seen from the point-of-view of a child.

Note: it was a magical decision to have the "real" events be in black & white while the "in-color" movies and shows they watched were allowed to retain their color. Brilliant.
