The movie mainly portrays the quaint neighborhood Buddy’s family resides in. Viewers watch Buddy go to school, go to the picture show, say goodbye to his father, and so on. The camera lingers a little too long on the same sets: the strip Buddy’s family lives on, the schoolyard, and the movie theater. Belfast mimics Roma, Kenneth Branagh’s other work, in its black and white tint, its capture of the everyday, and its cinematography. We watch Buddy struggle to get the attention of the girl he likes.
