Most movies are terrible at showcasing male friendships unless they are between cops, criminals, or superheroes. So this one is refreshing in how it illustrates the depressing end of a friendship and toxic masculinity. Martin McDonagh is gifted with dialogue, although at times the heavy talking and Irish accents makes it feel more like a play and less like cinema. Still it holds up as a darkly tragic comedy with character choices that will haunt you. And Colin Farrell is amazing. Recommended.

Pretends to seriousness when it’s just maudlin to its core. This is “adult” filmmaking in the age of Avengers movies: no subtlety, nothing left unstated or mysterious. Gleeson is reduced to waving his bloody stumps like some ghoul out of Harry Potter or like the meat-of-the-week in Game of Thrones. Nothing like Béla Tarr. Visually, it’s a tissue of clichés… it should be forbidden to shoot movies in Ireland. Don’t even get me started on the sexy cannibal donkeys.

Civil war is feckin’ shite, so. And if that’s not the point of this film, I suppose I just don’t have this sort of men in my life to relate it back to - once the film turns from slow rural comedy to utter, preventable tragedy, its characters likewise transform from charming bumpkins to caricatures of concept. Terrifically performed and never boring, but too unreal and (dare I say?) unnecessarily cruel. May yet stick with me and improve in recollection.

Oddly similar to his brother's Calvary (2014) because of the same dark humor, being centered around the exact same themes, and probably due to presence of Gleeson, so much so that it feels like I'm watching the same movie, and yet the story is still original and much more accessible. Both are a "McDonagh's masterpiece".

Men fear, perhaps more than anything, their own futility, and Inisherin is a landscape built to heighten it: nothing to do but gossip and milk cows and drink a pint and listen to a war off in the distance where at least they’re contributing. The stripped simplicity in every aspect of the film elevates the characters to people flailing at purpose. The preacher here may be yelling fuck out of the confessional but I’m reminded of Ecclestiasties: For all is Vanity, and chasing after the wind.

Manages to get the balance of tragedy and jet-black humor right, largely on the strength of the lead performances; Gleeson, Farrell, Condon and Keoghan are excellent here. Simple, efficient, but with a lot to say about the Irish Civil War and masculinity itself. Definitely worth seeing.

Definitely one of my favorites from 2022. McDonagh never misses. His scripts are always darkly hilarious or sharp or both, and this is one of his best yet. I for one was fine with the ending, and it legitimately got me thinking about my own friendships and life. Not rethinking, just thinking. It’s a much deeper, thought-provoking film than I expected. Farrell is excellent, but Condon was phenomenal. Gleeson and Keoghan were very amusing though. Expertly shot and paced. I felt like I was there.

TIFF 22: McDonagh starts with a hilariously simple narrative and slowly unveils its insidious power through to a devastatingly equalizing finale. Banshees' true drama exists in the conceptual, the hidden inner turmoil of the characters. In this way it feels almost literary, dealing with human yearning, suffering, irrationality through a series of outbursts and fallout. Easily my favourite thing I've seen this year.

2022's Everything Everywhere All at Once is about a woman accessing her other selves across the multiverse to do battle with/make amends with her daughter. 2022's Avatar: The Way of Water takes place on an alien world with mind blowing visual effects. 2022's All Quiet on the Western Front depicts the horrors of World War I from a young soldiers perspective. The Banshees of Inisherin is about a guy who doesn't want to be friends anymore. I haven't been this excited about a premise in a long time.

Brendan Gleeson tries giving the Irish Goodbye to a whole friendship, even though he's not going anywhere. Think 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles' but the pathos is all inverted. Directing, editing, and acting all convey a mastery of tone and timing, and the beautiful landscape is fully utilized. It looks fantastic, it may be the best Ireland = Green Color Palette shtick I've ever seen.

The microcosmic feud between two men of the island of Inisherin serves as a metaphor for the Irish Civil War: Two men, former best-friends, now feuding for unclear reasons, trapped in an escalating cycle of violence and retribution and surrounded by an abusive police force and an apathetic church. McDonagh takes the black comedy of "In Bruges" and the subtext and pathos of "Three Billboards" and combines them with socio-historical commentary to make his best and most meaningful film yet.

I really like this film and I suspect I will grow to like it even more on repeat viewing. Farrell and Gleason are as good a pair here as they were in "In Bruges", yet they couldn't be more different. Kerry Condon steals the movie out from under them as Farrell's smarter sister (She has some wonderful scenes that really contrast male and female perspectives on life.) Barry Keoghan steals more scenes as a funny little weirdo.

This is an incredible display of acting from the core 4 (Gleeson, Farrell, Condon and Keoghan). Gleeson and Farrell together are awesome. Writing handles seriousness well, and it doesn't shove punchlines at you, it slowly unveils them. Lines that don't seem funny are funny in context. Trailers don't do this justice. Takes a simple idea and makes it compelling. Brilliant directing too: good marriage with somber music, scenic shots, wonderful framing, artsy but not pretentiously so.

Great flick, very funny but with a matte black vibe throughout. Really cool to see the negative side of rural life in Ireland and the islands which in wide release films always seem to be romanticised. Fantastic performances from everyone but Kerry Condon and Barry Keoghan steal the show (even though I think Farrell is doing some career best work in a subtle way.) Sail, don't run to your nearest showing!

Some guy wants to stay friends and his friend doesn't, and goes to extreme lengths to clarify this. Everyone is charmless and the script is tedious, platitudinal, and full of awkward, flat jokes. It's not even the nagging, unsolved mystery of what the characters actually want and why, but worse: McDonagh's inability to make the answer matter. This isn't quite as terrible as Three Billboards, but that's really not saying much.

A quirky short film-like premise gets expertly expanded under vast Irish sky, casually meandering like a stroll down to the shore and back up to the pub into the territories of pure drama and absurdist dark comedy, respectively. What is a friendship? What is a life well-lived? "How's the despair?" These questions are bandied about in a snappy, smart script (Dominic's tragic arc felt disconnected though), perfectly acted out. Siobahn's a perfect third character ("You're *all* fucking boring!").

A dull, period buddy-comedy that dissolves into a body horror jumpscare mystery. Inherently TBoI is a value debate between intelligence and empathy. Not mutually exclusive, but the empathic character here (Farrell) is as dull as dishwater. The movie tries to argue that empathy and kindness are more important than intellect or wittiness. I know I'm not perhaps supposed to side with Gleeson who's more willing to mutilate himself than to endure boring people - but I absolutely do.

Sometimes I'm too dumb to "get" a film, but I can still enjoy it on the surface level. Here, I was too dumb to get it and the surface level also didn't really work for me as a story. The humor, photography, and some strong performances were enough to make this still decent, but I think I need to read about this to understand it.

What do you do when the ginger you thought was your best friend stops talking to you out of the blue? No, please, not that! This is a brilliant film that needles the line between comedy and tragedy perfectly - I cried like 5 times only to laugh 3 seconds later. Banshees is about loneliness, pain, ACAB, really cute small donkeys and also the civil war in Northern Ireland (but I don't know enough history to get the context). Nobody better mess with Siobhan, like ever!

A colourful, masterfully-told tale of two men in the dying days of their friendship. Uncomfortably relatable. I believe we have all been Colm at one time or another - desperate to grow beyond the straightjacket of what has been comfortable and normal. We've probably all been Padraic, too - a "this is life" type who thrives in that comfort and stillness, barely wanting for anything more. Gleeson and Farrell are splendid, and very few directors could hope to tell this story like Martin McDonagh.

I could talk about how much this differed from the way Mcdonagh normally intersects bitterness and violence. The cynicism not being as winking. The violence being a far distant after thought. But I’ll leave it with an abridged Cassavetes quote. “there is no communication between people. Instead it’s long-winded stories or hostile bits, or laughter. But nobody’s really laughing. It’s more an hysterical, joyless kind of sound. Translation: ‘I am here and I don’t know why.”

The film resists an easy read but invites viewers to savor the details of both its central relationship and of the characters around Colm and Pádraic, like Dominic, an abused, dull-witted boy who becomes Pádraic’s hanger-on, and Siobhán, Pádraic’s well-read sister, who comes to suspect there’s no future for her on Inisherin. This possibility seems never to have occurred to Colm and Pádraic even as their countrymen kill each other heading into a tomorrow that may have no room for either of them.

Wholly immersive thanks to the beautiful photography, excellent dialogues and a cast of memorable, perfectly chosen faces helmed by the great duo of Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, it's perhaps McDonagh's most antithetical film: the first half is surprisingly hilarious to the point of bordering on farce, while the second is considerably grimmer as the characters are driven to extremes that work symbolically as portrayals of their worldview and relationship but contextually seem far-fetched.

A film so awful in so many ways I find it hard to cram them all into a short review. Suffice to say this is a contrived abonimation that prostitutes rural Ireland in the bleakest most pointless of enterprises. Even the audio editing was amateurish before we even get to plot, accent, linguistic historicity, cliche, and the total bastardisation of anything of value whatsoever. Oscars? Oscar the grouch has more artistic probity.

A look into loneliness, depression and fulfillment. Farrell's character is the only truly happy and content person on the island, the only one actually living the proper Ecclesiastes life filled with joy. Then loneliness, the film's main hero, comes in the equation, people succumb to it and it devours everything with its selfish nihilistic pride. Relationships are destroyed and the island's community is torn apart. The seemingly dull Pádraic proves to be the only one with integrity. /c Vlaykova

Futility soon becomes a driving force to make sure all things connected to our turmoil have a purpose or a certain intensity of emotion. With that, the "nice" and "dull" periods of life start to become more frequent with death approaching as though a banshee exists with warning. Well written and worth rewatching.

Strong performances from Farrell & Gleeson make McDonagh's film an engaging watch despite its sluggish pace. The Civil War analogy is made apparent by the end, though not laboured throughout, especially if it's not on your mind going in. The decaying friendship is handled well with both leads coming across as flawed; both stubborn, both right from their point-of-view, both needlessly escalating things. The humour is alright, and I can't say I want to rewatch it, but it remains a very good film.

Banshees is at its weakest when it tries too hard to be an absurdist comedy, but at its best when it lets breathing room for Gleeson and especially Colin Farrell to do his thing by acting the subtext. i'm surprised i actually like a movie done by the guy who made the awful Billboards in Missouri- maybe he's more in his oils when the setting is something he's familiar with.

More enjoyable than the others I’ve seen of his. Less smarmy and cynical in a boring and violent way. One of the funniest movies of the year.

You can come out of a movie and think "That was awesome, do you fancy a KFC?", or if it is a Lynchian film, "What the f*** was that about, did you understand it?" .. then there is the type of film which resonates so deeply, where you are emotionally invested on so many levels, where everything is so brilliantly cast, scripted, acted and filmed that it stays with you in every waking moment. I love this film, the lead actors and the sense of getting old, and thinking "have I 'achieved' anything?"

A man engages in self-harm to distance himself from his dull, overbearing and clingy friend. Unhappy people do strange things... he had an inability to articulate his existential crisis other than through gore? I'm not sure I understand the point the movie is making. The only thought that comes to my mind is this: isn't it pointless to get rid of a ball and chain, be it one's social circle, or the flesh that slowly rots and marks the passage of lost aspirations?

Meticulously slow. Matchingly boring, dreary and gross. Gosh... today's cinema. It has to be fucking painful, doesn't it? It's either pointlessly perverse/perversely pointless or pointlessly painful/painfully pointless with those damn people. No other option. And to think it's all coming from the brilliant "In Bruges" creator. There's just no hope for humanity. And yes, I got your little precious donkey gnostic allegory against God, you prick.

Nip this scenario in the bud by having more than one friend and/or avoiding musicians. For me the key ingredient is the small size and isolation of the community; only very precariously does one have "enough" here, and moving on to better things is all the harder, almost like leaving a cult.

Really just such a sad, tragic, and funny movie. Loved how it looked, too, with the beautiful Irish landscape that only added to the forlorn feel of the quiet chaos the two former friends descend into. Such great performances from all of the cast. I always liked how Martin McDonagh writes side characters, giving them a voice of their own in the story. Also, animals were integral in this movie. Their silent support can also mean the world to a person.

"The Banshees of Inisherin" stands out for its excellent production, compelling script, and performances that resonate deeply with the viewer. The true challenge of the film lies in its material—it confronts you with unexpected, poignant force, masterfully unveiling the raw edges of despair and solitude. Prepare to be emotionally wrung out by its exploration of human isolation and desperation.

This is one of those love it or hate it movies. I LOVED IT! It is simple, it has GREAT actors, the reaction is pretty extreme (and sickening) and probably the thing people don't like about it... but ultimately it's about friendship (and the lovely pony). Ireland is beautiful and so is this movie.

Surreal, like a fairy tale. Makes more sense as a feud between the gods of joy & legacy, or something. More dreary than funny, but I have to admit it does resonate, and it is (somewhat) funny.

the conflict between niceness and self-actualisation seems to have been decided in favour of the latter, but it's still very worth mining for some reflective entertainment, with a standard dose of bitter humour and packaged irishness

The movie is weird and that's what makes it interesting to watch too. It keeps you guessing how the movie is going to end and it is the end which is unfortunately open and non-satisfying. The Irish English is rather entertaining to hear. The underlying theme is a tad sad but the makers have managed to eke comedy out of it. I still find it bonkers that it got 9 Oscar nominations. Didn't think it deserved all that.

McDonagh movies always have a unique tone, somewhere between high budget dark comedy and low budget film d'auteur. This one is no exception. I enjoyed the journey, not so much the destination. I fully understand the screenwriting choices though, and won't criticize them.

Que c'est bon de voir du cinéma. Pas l'un de ces bêtes spectacles qui vous lave le cerveau à coup de fusil à pompe dans le cerveau. L'art de créer un monde atypique et attachant, avec des personnages brutaux, sales, gentils et méchants. Comme son précédent film, sans réussir à atteindre la même cadence, ni la même force, c'est n'empêche une excellente alternative où Colin Farrell, Barry Keoghan et Kerry Condon explosent tout sur leur passage.

Two men fail to get along for two hours and it's among the funniest things I've ever witnessed. Should they reconcile? Probably, but that would be less fun for the viewer. Also, there is some deeper themes about personal goals and living life to the fullest.
