Netflix giveth and taketh away this week with Rebecca Hall's subtle B&W racial drama and a $200 million waste of time. And Kenneth Branagh would like his Oscar, please.
One stray thought about BELFAST: I like that it was short. That’s not a knock. I enjoyed the movie. But movies in general seem to have forgotten that it’s OK to clock in under 100 minutes and it’s kind of unheard of in a movie with this subject in 2021.
It wasn't until after BELFAST ended that I recognized Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey from, you know, *those* movies. He has such quiet charisma here that I'm retroactively impressed by how the directors of the Fifty Shades flicks managed to drain it all out of him.

"Fuck off, Red Notice". Excellent, all I needed to know.
