Belfast has been in the conversation for Best Picture longer than most of the other nominees. Going in, we had some high expectations, and we were met with a pretty mediocre film. Kenneth Branagh's semi-autobiographical film about growing up in Northern Ireland during The Troubles never quite hits the right notes, leaving us questioning why this is the front runner. It is a film filled with fine performances, but it only scratches the surface of what it could have been.
What do you think of our first Best Picture nominee? We're excited to see how this one falls in all of our rankings by the end of the season!
