Watched a great movie last night.

An excellent film called Belfast. 2021
Set in 1969, great soundtrack with 5 Van Morrison songs as well as 9 others.

The film chronicles the life of a working-class Ulster Protestant family from the perspective of their nine-year-old son Buddy during The Troubles in Belfast.
Buddy’s father, Pa works overseas in England, while the family—Ma, elder brother Will, and paternal grandparents Granny and Pop—live in Belfast.
Judy Dench is almost unrecognisable behind those black rimmed glasses.
Granny (Judy Dench) has the last word in the film; Go. Go now. Don’t look back. I love you, son.
Such a poignant film. Have a look for it.
 

I watched that a few years ago and remember enjoying it quite a bit. It looks like it's available on Prime Video with ads, so as much as I hate watching ads, I may take another look at it. I must admit, when I watched it years ago, I didn't know the full story of the situation in Ireland. I've learned a bit more about it since then, so watching the movie again would be a different experience.
