EVERY THURSDAY EVENING, we bring you trailers for films that are out this weekend.

Here are three trailers for films you can catch in the cinema. 

Belfast

Actor, writer and director Kenneth Branagh looks at his childhood for inspiration for this film (and it’s landed him in the Oscars race too). It stars Jude Hill as a nine-year-old who lives in a small community in Belfast, and finds his life upended by the start of the Troubles. Caitríona Balfe and Jamie Dornan play his parents, and make a delightful pair in this sweet and nostalgic film.
