Dir. Martin McDonagh. 2022, UK, US, IRELAND. 114 mins. English
On a small island off Ireland’s coast, life delivers few surprises. Sleepy days on Inisherin are marked by lifelong pals Padraic and Colm’s late-afternoon trips to the pub. Until one day, when it doesn’t happen.
As heartbreaking as it is hilarious, The Banshees of Inisherin is arguably the finest work from this major filmmaker who brought us IN BRUGES and THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI and reunites director Martin McDonagh with Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson for a hilarious take on male friendships, bravado and family.
