Watched it last night on Cox cable, rental at $5.99
I had a hard time understanding the dialog, much of it was unintelligible, so consider using closed caption to have a chance of getting the gist of the dialog.

Also, they SELF IDENTIFIED as either Roman Catholic or Protestant, and THEY made it about religious conflict. So I'd say it was a religious conflict.
No it was civil rights. Around the same time civil rights protests were taking place in the USA. Some protestant companies would not employ Catholics, you can google the police (Unionists) violence against Catholics. It was not a simple issue of religion. https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...thern-ireland/

I saw it last week at the movies, here that is the only way to see it right now.
I enjoyed it but struggled with some of the accents. I have hearing aids but took quite a while to tune in to the accents.
I do recall going to a church here a couple of times connected to the Northern Irish Protestants. I remember, at the age of seventeen, being totally shocked at the anti Catholic preaching, and at that stage I had not a friend or relative who was Catholic (we have a large Catholic school system here) So I think there were certainly religious issues for some people there.
What I enjoyed was seeing the classroom and the school. Only last week my grandson, aged seven, gave a talk about what was different when Grandma went to school. I had been telling him about the desks nailed down, us being lined up every week according to our test results. He was fascinated by the idea of inkwells, of all things, and having ink monitors. Cannot remember if the desks in the movie had an inkwell! But gosh the classroom brought back memories.

The film chronicles the life of a working-class Ulster Protestant family from the perspective of their nine-year-old son during The Troubles in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The film is based on Sir Kenneth Branagh's childhood in Belfast.

Right - thanks for that but I did already know that. I love me some Kenneth Branagh.
Not sure why you responded to my comment but thanks for the sources!
