1.Belfast
Few films gave me more joy this year than Kenneth Branagh’s semi-autobiographical film about a working class family in 1960s Belfast.

Feb 25, 2021 · It was a pretty interesting year for Christian movies, and our slate of worthy nominees feels more diverse than in some past years: From comedies to dramas, from events that took place more than 100 years ago to events that could’ve taken place yesterday, Christian moviemakers gave us a little bit of everything.
