Belfast Interview: Jamie Dornan and Catriona Balfe

In Kenneth Branaugh’s new movie Belfast, Jamie Dornan and Caitriona Balfe star as Pa and Ma, the hard-working and hard-worrying parents of two kids struggling to find their way in a divided Northern Ireland. Together, the family navigates riots, prejudice, and schoolboy crushes, all while trying to determine their next steps.

For Balfe and Dornan, it was something they were all too familiar with, having both grown up in the wake of Northern Ireland’s troubles. Dornan was himself raised in Belfast, and Balfe just south of the border in Ireland proper. We sat down with the pair to talk about what they remember learning about the struggles growing up, and what they loved about working with Jude Hill, the charismatic and adorable actor who plays Buddy, the family’s youngest child.
