BELFAST is a drama in which a boy's future in his home town hangs in the balance when violence breaks out.
threat and horror
A villainous character threatens to shoot a nine year-old boy, but his father quickly intervenes. The boy is caught up in sectarian rioting as petrol bombs are thrown. He cowers under a table with his family as cars explode and windows break.
language
There is infrequent use of strong language ('f**k'), and milder terms such as 'bloody', 'bugger', 'shite', 'arsehole', 'Christ', 'hell' and 'God'.
discrimination
The sectarianism of the Troubles is a theme of the film, which carries an anti-discriminatory message.
additional issues
There is brief mild violence: a villain is disarmed by a thrown brick; there is a slow-motion punch to the face. There are infrequent mild sex references. Children steal from shops, but the negative consequences of doing so are clear. There are upsetting scenes relating to the death of a loved-one.
