The Banshees of Inisherin

[VoR]

This was feckin' brilliant.



I sometimes find Martin McDonagh stuff a bit too broad, but this was an absolute tour de force. The script crackles with hilarious one-liners, it's beautifully poignant in some places and unbearably tense in others. If there was any justice, Colin Farrell would walk away with the Oscar, though I fear the sentimental pull of Brendan Fraser's comeback is going to prove too strong...

How nice, too, to see Kerry Condon aka daffy Octavia of the Julii from Rome in a genuinely meaty supporting role.

I absolutely loved it too. Almost 10/10 but failed on my “must be desperate to see it again” criteria.

Farrell was superb and I absolutely loved Kerry Condon in this too, who I think really does deserve some Oscar love. I loved the juxtaposition of the absolutely surreal in an realistically old setting, as well as the drama vs comedy pull.

Excellent stuff.

Very enjoyable. Colin Farell’s sad puppy eyes really got me.

Thought it was fab

Shouldn't this be the singer-songwriter icons of Inisherin?

It was just WEIRD tbh
