The film toggles masterfully between comedy and tragedy; realism and fable. It manages to be both of the moment and completely timeless.

I’d almost call this a horror film.

It’s a gut punch of a comic-drama that keeps finding new ways to land hard-hitting body blows, and it’s easily one of the year’s very best films.

Condon and Keoghan give “Banshees” extra personality and verve, while Farrell and Gleeson are the two halves of its beating heart.

McDonagh is a master world builder. Whether you want to live in those worlds for two hours of your only life is purely a matter of individual taste.

A highly satisfying, macabre drama – and perhaps McDonagh’s most mature film.

Writer/director Martin McDonagh does a brilliant job of fluidly transitioning between emotional beats.

Martin McDonagh takes something as universal as a dissolving friendship and gives it his unique spin to it with The Banshees of Inisherin. It’s a striking view of one person’s decision on how he wants to spend what precious time he has left.

Paul’s Trip to the Movies
While dreaming of being Samuel Beckett and Flannery O’Connor both at once, [McDonagh] lacks the skill, balance, and basic command of craft in his own medium to nip at the heels of either.

The Banshees of Inisherin is an engaging film that works as a solid drama or dark comedy-drama, depending on your humor, that you should go and see. November 21, 2022 | Rating: B+

Gives the impression of understanding every element of these characters and their staid, insular culture of about two dozen human souls at a molecular level.
