For breakthrough “Belfast” star Jude Hill, the power of his Oscar-nominated drama is more than black and white.
The 11-year-old actor, who won best young actor at the Critics Choice Awards this month, says the entire cast and crew realized they were telling a special story as they worked on Kenneth Branagh’s semi-autobiographical movie about a boy growing up in Northern Ireland during the social unrest of the late 1960s.
Hill, who plays the central child, Buddy, believes anyone can relate to something or someone in the heartfelt coming-of-age story.
