I don't know if this film is Oscar-worthy like it is being hailed as, but it is a truly heartfelt film that tells the story of a family struggling in Belfast at a very difficult time in history and the sacrifices they and the people around them had to make to stay safe but also thrive. The direction and acting in this film was really good and kept my attention the entire way through with some fairly intense moment.

Also talks about some fairly relevant things that are still about today, like the fact if some are of a different background it shouldn't mean we should shun them or not want to love them. Jude Hill (Buddy) is definitely a rising star and I can't wait to see him in more, but also I predict Jamie Dornan (Pa) is going to end up with a Robert Pattinson career of getting big from something truly awful but showing he is a phenomenal actor in smaller productions.

Now that's really all I can say about the film as it is a good film but is really short and doesn't actually bring anything new to the table and that's why I say it is good but not Oscar-worthy.
