Belfast-born Kenneth “Branflakes” Branagh’s new film is a beautiful sight to behold and a joy to watch – which is all the more remarkable given its dark subject matter.

Chas and Jimmy both loved this film which shows the troubles in Northern Ireland in the late 1960s and early 1970s through the eyes of a wee boy.

Big Jamie Dornan is a revelation as the boy’s matinee idol-like dad who stands up to the bullies who try to pressure him and his family into supporting their cause.
