Critical reaction

The movie has an 87% approval rating from 320 reviews on the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, with an overall rating of 7.90/10. Belfast, a very personal effort for writer-director Kenneth Branagh, escapes its narrative shortcomings with potent performances and directing skills, according to the website’s reviewers’ consensus. The movie has received “generally positive reviews,” according to the weighted average score of 75 out of 100 on Metacritic, which is based on 55 reviews. On a scale from A+ to F, audiences surveyed by CinemaScope awarded the movie an average grade of “A,” while 79% of moviegoers surveyed by Postoak said they would recommend it.

It was the best of times and it was the worst of times, and this haphazard crowd-pleaser renders them both in such broad strokes that it seems as if Branagh can only imagine the Belfast of his youth as a brogue-accented blend of other movies like it, according to David Ehrlich of IndieWire, who gave the movie a “C” grade.
