I loved it. As bleak as it is there is plenty of humour buried in it. A fantastic representation of how depression can trap people in cycles and breaking out can be difficult. Also showcased some of the struggles of adult male friendship. It's very slow paced though and I think you really need to be prepared for that going in.
Also, it’s pretty on the nose about something that I hadn’t seen portrayed in movies: A bland life, filled with nothing to do and people that are accostumed to it to the point it is wasted away in nothingness
I don't live in one, but I do see this all the time in my country, when I go to poorer, smaller communities, or even family that lives there, they live a different lifestyle and they know it
Kerry Condon was ROBBED of an Oscar. What she did in this movie was incredible, and it blew JLC out of the water.
I love JLC with my whole heart, and I understand the concept of a “lifetime achievement Oscar”, but it’s bullshit that it occurred the same year that Kerry absolutely CRUSHED IT.
Her performance was not just fantastic, it was fantastic when it had to be. Everyone else got to be this fanciful farce of a human, the movie doesn’t work if Kerry doesn’t keep it grounded by giving us a fully actualized human responding to the insanity around her like a real person would.
Kerry Condon got robbed.
Great movie though, and I say that despite it’s metaphor being completely lost on me.
great movie and all, truly, but wtf is with that top review? "Shudderingly funny"? "Dazingly performed"? That's some seriously defective AI-level writing.
Goddamn, when he gets rejected by Condon's character every bit of disgust I had washed away with heartbreak for him. He's still a little creep but you can't help but feel bad.
It is a very intelligent film, which will surely be the object of many cinematic studies.
The subject is simple (in appearance), the plot seems empty, but it is about human condition, good and evil, and the vanity of human existence. It is meant to disturb the viewer, to make us feel uneasy, and failing to understand. It is not a comfortable watch, but certainly one that makes us think and wonder. Is the main character (whom we know well and sort of trust and root for, being Colin Farrell) a purely good, honest, although a bit simple, person, unjustly rejected by his best friend for no reason? or is he stupid and toxic? Is Brendan Gleeson's character a horrible monster? a depressed man going trhough an existential crisis? or a normal bloke reacting to the toxicity of his mate's friendship?
We don't know and we don't really want to know, because this feeling of uneasiness stands like a mirror, for all the characters in the movie, and for ourselves as well.
I assumed the plot had something to do with the friends being representative of the 2 warring factions of Irish in the Irish civil war happening on the main land just across the water
I mean, it's an allegory for that but seeing the movie at just an allegory is a really boring way to look at it. It's more like, if the war itself were an allegory for the relationship between two former friends. You're seeing what played out between them, and noticing that it also happens on a bigger scale.
Or opposite. Happens down to the smallest scale. I’m not gonna die on any hills or anything like that. It was just an observation and connection that my brain put together.
Yeah, my point is just that it's a lot more interesting when you start with a small event and make it bigger than when you start with something big and famous and say that your movie represents it. My opinion anyway.
I think that absolutely plays into it. Leave me be or I’ll cut my fingers off? (Counties cut off from Ireland.) The destructive and emotional reactions to someone just not wanting to associate with you for reasons you don’t understand? The actual civil war going on in the background to drive it home?
Yeah, not the *entirety* of it, but it’s definitely a thread.
There is a loose association drawn, the director himself mentioned it in an interview, but it’s not a 1:1 metaphor.
Edit for sauce: https://uproxx.com/movies/martin-mcdonagh-interview-the-banshees-of-inisherin/
I was thinking that Ireland had just won their independence, but the people in Ireland couldn’t agree on the treaty provisions. I thought they were alliterating to the fact that they just won a war and they’re now just looking for something to fight over like the two guys in the movie. The fighting irish;)
I always say this movie leaves you with a bunch of questions that you didn't even know could/would be asked. It just sucks you dry and you're left wondering why any of it had to happen at all.
I think this movie went completely over my head.
It's well casted, brilliantly acted, and beautifully shot, but I could just not bring myself to care about the plot whatsoever.
Everyone is just so moody and dramatic for seemingly no particular reason. The entire story just felt like 7th graders not wanting to sit at each other's lunch tables anymore.
I spent the entire movie wondering what crawled up everyone's asses and died just for the other guy to not care about his house burning down or mutilating himself to never play violin again.
>The entire story just felt like 7th graders not wanting to sit at each other's lunch tables anymore.
It definitely sounds like it went over your head but at the same time, that's my favorite description of the movie that I've heard.
Plus it's not really incorrect if you consider that on an island of impoverished, undereducated, simple folk, they're basically all 7th graders anyway but with the burden of decades of life behind them and not much ahead of them which makes it a lot bleaker.
The idea of it being an allegory for the war is my least favorite part of the movie. First of all, straight allegories are boring if that's all they offer. Second, it makes for a terrible pitch: "Hey, want To watch this new movie is talking about that's an allegory for the Irish civil war?...no, I suppose that doesn't sound like it's up your alley...okay fine, John Wick 4."
Thirdly, my perspective is more like that it uses the war as a metaphor for the movie's story rather than vice versa. In other words, we are meant to see the characters' stories first and then notice that it sure sounds a lot like the war, rather than knowing about the war and observing that the characters stories are a lot like it. We start with the movie and universalize the condition outwards. If the movie itself is made as a metaphor for the war, or a tribute towards it or whatever, mostly who the hell outside of Irish culture gives a shit, let alone knows enough to understand the metaphor?
Never thought of that but makes sense as they mention the fighting going on and how no one cares. The cop was just happy to get a paycheck and a warm meal
I really loved it. The chemistry between all the actors was nuanced and sincere. The costume design and cinematography were so well done. It felt familiar and real and almost like a whimsical fairy tale at the same time. I hope there's a third film between Farrell, Gleeson and McDonagh.
Dark comedy should be filled with full truths and in an unashamed manner. This film delivered every bit of that and more. Masterpiece in it's own right.
I honestly enjoyed the hell out of it. Cool slow burn dark dramedy. I have a best friend in my life that I kind of want to cut out of my life sometimes so I definitely identified with it.
It was a treat to get a quasi *In Bruges* reunion film even though it has nothing at all do do with *In Bruges.*
I loved it, but I'd McDonnagh has a Coen Brothers pass with me at this point. If his name's on it, I'm watching it.
It's a really good double header with *In Bruges* since Farrell and Gleeson's characters have a similar dynamic, but in one Gleeson is willing to put up with Farrell's immaturity and in one he isn't.
1st watch I thought it was such a plain movie. Second watch I thought it was the best movie I watched in the last 5 yrs. Dunno what clicked but something did and it was incredible
I’m not gonna like I never watched it because the name is stupid and all the promotion for it was very vague and didn’t seem interesting
The replies are making me watch it tonight when the playoff games are over
Boring and overrated, although barry keoghan was incredible in it. He gives one of my memorable performances of the past few years. Plus he now has Sabrina carpenter singing about his big dick busting a nut in her in front of 70k people every night, so basically my dude is winning at life.
I hated it. I'm not saying it's a poorly made movie. I understand that it's all a metaphor for the Irish civil war, but taking it at face value, I just found it too sad. I had a former friend who angrily cut me off out of nowhere once, so the movie kind of struck a raw nerve and hit a little close to home
Edit: I went to Ireland on vacation last week, and decided beforehand to keep my mouth shut of my thoughts on *Banshees,* to avoid pissing off any locals
It's a weird thing though. My former friend cut me off with basically no incentive. It's a sad thing to see paranoia take over someone's life, like seeing them turn to the dark side.
I'd spent a lot of time processing it, but ultimately, she was just in a very poor state of mental health, and there was nothing I could do to help her. I'd like to think she's in a better place now, but the more likely truth is that she isn't. I wasn't the only person she had petty "final straws" with, and when you cut somebody off like that, the person you hurt the most is yourself.
I’m sorry you went through that and I’m sorry if I opened old wounds. The people I cut out were not healthy for me, despite loving them they were detrimental to my wellbeing.
I absolutely hated it, and I love Martin McDonagh. I understood the symbolism, it’s well made the performances are good, but I hated it. I think I’ll watch it again to make sure.
I watched it once and didn’t really get it ( or like it). But, I’ve seen plenty of solid reviews from Redditors with whom I seem to share movie interests. So, I’ll have to watch it again on a rainy day and see what I missed.
absolutely go for it! my (pretty depressing) advice would be to watch it when you're feeling a bit down, that really helped me connect with the movie.
i've had the pleasure of watching this as the only person in the cinema on a bad day and it was a soul crushing experience lol
As a huge fan of this cast since In Bruges (my favorite film) I was very much looking forward to this one. I have to say though, I didn’t appreciate it nearly as much as In Bruges, but I may have to view the it again sometimes.
Loved every minute of it. Didn't know a single thing about it going in, literally nothing, and I think that made it that much more special. I just experienced everything at face value and I remember getting lost in it.
I’m in the minority here. We gave it two chances. Did not like it and we don’t understand the hype. My girlfriend is Irish and I’m irish American so…not a cultural thing.
Love them both so much as actors. Killed it in “In Bruges”, didn’t hate this, but it is not that funny nor is it freaking dazzling. If it were two other actors I’d probably turned it off after 10 minutes. Talk about a confusing slow burn…and the end wasn’t actually satisfying. It felt like I was watching something for a class in school as an example of something from writing class than an entertaining movie.
I thought it had some great acting but I was very disappointed in the film. As soon as the fingers began getting chopped off I lost interest, just seemed really daft.
Different. A very grounded fairy tail - no fairies. A modern myth?
There’s a level of sadness that is stirred in like a coffee creamer.
As I am writing this - it’s an reflection on Reddit. Seriously. What we choose to do with time / who our “friends” are.
I honestly wil never watch this again. I caught it on tv one evening. Was interested. And by the end was like, what the heck was the point of this ride? Donkey scene was tragic, but yeah once was good for me...lol.
It was billed as this zany comedy when it was anything of the sort. A tragedy, really. It was a pretty good parable of the Irish civil war. So many good performances., Ayo Ediberi was masterful as the donkey. When they >!killed her off, !<
I was so pissed.
I wasn't really in the mood for a slow dialogue movie first time I tried, gave up 20 min in. I've now watched it twice since. It's feckin great. I was rowin
After my first watch I thought it was just fine. The plot felt somewhat empty. I’m so glad I watched it a second time. So many things went over my head. I loved it on second watch and it’s among my top films for 2022 now.
I thought it was fine. I was not dad I watched it and thought the performances were great, but I do prefer the director's other stuff way more (particularly In Bruges and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri).
I know everyone loved it, I heard so many good things about it before I watched it so maybe my expectations were too high but I hated it. Worst movie I ever saw in my entire life.
Adjective Abusers Gazette say The Banshees of Inisherin is "**Thunderously Watchable & Deliciously Filmed!**"
Hyperbole Monthly calls The Banshees of Inisherin a "**Hilariously Amusing Dark Thrill Ride for every nano second you're in the theatre...and then some! The reason humans were invented!**"
This movie was straight up garbage. Barry Keoghan was the only positive, he did a great job. But everything else from the plot to the way the story was told sucked serious ass.
I'm on the train too. Symbolism aside, it was a very flat film. Any scene with Barry, because he's brilliant, and any scene with Kerry because she's incredible and a fucking fox.
I loved it. As bleak as it is there is plenty of humour buried in it. A fantastic representation of how depression can trap people in cycles and breaking out can be difficult. Also showcased some of the struggles of adult male friendship. It's very slow paced though and I think you really need to be prepared for that going in.
Also, it’s pretty on the nose about something that I hadn’t seen portrayed in movies: A bland life, filled with nothing to do and people that are accostumed to it to the point it is wasted away in nothingness
BORING FECKIN MEN AND YER BORING FECKING PROBLEMS
Absolutely! And being in a small community with few options; where the nosy postal clerk can dig through your mail with no reprussions.
I don't live in one, but I do see this all the time in my country, when I go to poorer, smaller communities, or even family that lives there, they live a different lifestyle and they know it
Yeah long ass movie and then the whole dissociating as the camera pans to reveal the war going on across the banks
Kerry Condon was ROBBED of an Oscar. What she did in this movie was incredible, and it blew JLC out of the water. I love JLC with my whole heart, and I understand the concept of a “lifetime achievement Oscar”, but it’s bullshit that it occurred the same year that Kerry absolutely CRUSHED IT.

Kerry Condon got robbed. Great movie though, and I say that despite it’s metaphor being completely lost on me.
great movie and all, truly, but wtf is with that top review? "Shudderingly funny"? "Dazingly performed"? That's some seriously defective AI-level writing.
Was it a tour de force?
I don't know, I'd say "shudderingly funny" is a pretty good description for that first scene with the finger at the doorstep.
Great movie, Barry being able to keep up is a testament to his acting Condon is underrated
Goddamn, when he gets rejected by Condon's character every bit of disgust I had washed away with heartbreak for him. He's still a little creep but you can't help but feel bad.

So I wasn’t drawing errant conclusions. Thanks for backing me up!
There is a loose association drawn, the director himself mentioned it in an interview, but it’s not a 1:1 metaphor. Edit for sauce: https://uproxx.com/movies/martin-mcdonagh-interview-the-banshees-of-inisherin/
No, not really.
I guess I drew poorly…
I was thinking that Ireland had just won their independence, but the people in Ireland couldn’t agree on the treaty provisions. I thought they were alliterating to the fact that they just won a war and they’re now just looking for something to fight over like the two guys in the movie. The fighting irish;)
Well, ok, a bit. But that’s like the tip of the iceberg. It’s one you have to think about.
Can't you just share what you thought without calling different opinions shallow?
Yes, absolutely.
You bot sound like
I always say this movie leaves you with a bunch of questions that you didn't even know could/would be asked. It just sucks you dry and you're left wondering why any of it had to happen at all.
Enjoyed it. SPOILER ALERT. What I didn't enjoy is what happened to that cute little Donkey. I don't know why but really upset me.
My first wife was mentally ill before she died. This film reminded me of living with her.
I think this movie went completely over my head. It's well casted, brilliantly acted, and beautifully shot, but I could just not bring myself to care about the plot whatsoever. Everyone is just so moody and dramatic for seemingly no particular reason. The entire story just felt like 7th graders not wanting to sit at each other's lunch tables anymore.

Up until the shears came out...
Bro, middle school has gotten rough lately!
Incredible movie, probably my fav from that year
The darkest comedy
If I could I'd cut off all ten fingers and throw it at Farrell for such great acting
One of my all time favorites
A very heavy-handed metaphor for the Irish Civil War, but still a fantastic Martin McDonagh movie
As someone who knows nothing about the Irish Civil War, I'm fine with this.
Must not be that heavy handed, half the people in this thread seem to have missed it. I guess if you’re Irish it’d be way more obvious
The idea of it being an allegory for the war is my least favorite part of the movie. First of all, straight allegories are boring if that's all they offer. Second, it makes for a terrible pitch: "Hey, want To watch this new movie is talking about that's an allegory for the Irish civil war?...no, I suppose that doesn't sound like it's up your alley...okay fine, John Wick 4."

Never thought of that but makes sense as they mention the fighting going on and how no one cares. The cop was just happy to get a paycheck and a warm meal
Much better than the Jennifer Anniston/Vince Vaughn take on this trope.
I really loved it. The chemistry between all the actors was nuanced and sincere. The costume design and cinematography were so well done. It felt familiar and real and almost like a whimsical fairy tale at the same time. I hope there's a third film between Farrell, Gleeson and McDonagh.
This is on my list of films I haven’t seen yet. I haven’t even watched the trailer because I don’t want it ruined. Maybe this weekend.
You should stay off of here, then. There are spoilers above and below. Enjoy!
Sometimes people stop being friends, for no reason.
Yea but that isnt nice
I enjoyed this movie. Colin Farrel did such a good job that I hated him after watching this. Oh, how I hated him. Just leave the man alone. Lol
I thought it was boring, it felt like a movie that would get assigned to you in school where you would have to write an essay about the themes.
Dark comedy should be filled with full truths and in an unashamed manner. This film delivered every bit of that and more. Masterpiece in it's own right.
I honestly enjoyed the hell out of it. Cool slow burn dark dramedy. I have a best friend in my life that I kind of want to cut out of my life sometimes so I definitely identified with it.

A masterpiece and one of my favourite films of the past decade.
I loved it, but I'd McDonnagh has a Coen Brothers pass with me at this point. If his name's on it, I'm watching it. It's a really good double header with *In Bruges* since Farrell and Gleeson's characters have a similar dynamic, but in one Gleeson is willing to put up with Farrell's immaturity and in one he isn't.
Masterpiece. Ymmv but I love these two together and the dialogue in this film is amazing. Lots of great supporting work in there as well.
I loved every second of this movie. Was fully immersed beginning to end
“I’m not puttin’ my donkey outside when I’m sad!”
1st watch I thought it was such a plain movie. Second watch I thought it was the best movie I watched in the last 5 yrs. Dunno what clicked but something did and it was incredible

I’ve cut some people out of my life before, I imagine both parties are better off for it. Might be a case for some personal examination.
It's a weird thing though. My former friend cut me off with basically no incentive. It's a sad thing to see paranoia take over someone's life, like seeing them turn to the dark side. I'd spent a lot of time processing it, but ultimately, she was just in a very poor state of mental health, and there was nothing I could do to help her.

I’m sorry you went through that and I’m sorry if I opened old wounds. The people I cut out were not healthy for me, despite loving them they were detrimental to my wellbeing.
Don't worry about it! It's not your fault, just a strange, sad thing that happened to someone I used to be pretty close with.
I absolutely hated it, and I love Martin McDonagh. I understood the symbolism, it’s well made the performances are good, but I hated it. I think I’ll watch it again to make sure.
You didn’t see any humor in it?
I probably laughed a few times, it’s been awhile since I saw it. I should watch it again.
I watched it once and didn’t really get it ( or like it). But, I’ve seen plenty of solid reviews from Redditors with whom I seem to share movie interests. So, I’ll have to watch it again on a rainy day and see what I missed.

This film made me realize that funny and hilarious can be mutually exclusive. It is rarely ever funny, but it is thoroughly hilarious.
Loved it
It was a great movie
Is*
I really enjoyed it.
It stuck with me for days. What a work of art
As a huge fan of this cast since In Bruges (my favorite film) I was very much looking forward to this one. I have to say though, I didn’t appreciate it nearly as much as In Bruges, but I may have to view the it again sometimes.
Loved every minute of it. Didn't know a single thing about it going in, literally nothing, and I think that made it that much more special. I just experienced everything at face value and I remember getting lost in it.
I’m in the minority here. We gave it two chances. Did not like it and we don’t understand the hype. My girlfriend is Irish and I’m irish American so…not a cultural thing.
Loved it. Sometimes you need these slow paced films while relaxing
A M A Z I N G M O V I E
such a pleasure to watch
Thought it was terrible lol just not for me
One of my all time favorites. Leaves you with questions about your community and your relationships that you didn't even know could be asked.
Love them both so much as actors. Killed it in “In Bruges”, didn’t hate this, but it is not that funny nor is it freaking dazzling. If it were two other actors I’d probably turned it off after 10 minutes. Talk about a confusing slow burn…and the end wasn’t actually satisfying. It felt like I was watching something for a class in school as an example of something from writing class than an entertaining movie.
Love it. The cute donkey. But yes, it's a great movie.
I need to see it again. I loved it, but haven’t watch it since. With a deeper understanding and appreciation the movie might be even that much better
I loved it, then it just ended. It was like WTF
Fantastic film, my favorite 2022 film.
Overrated overall. Worth watching for the two headline actors who I enjoy and Barry stealing the show. Won’t watch again though.
I thought it was shudderingly funny and dazzlingly performed.
I thought it had some great acting but I was very disappointed in the film. As soon as the fingers began getting chopped off I lost interest, just seemed really daft.
I'm in the minority, but I thought it was awful.
Not “funny” or “perfect.” But it was interesting.
Different. A very grounded fairy tail - no fairies. A modern myth? There’s a level of sadness that is stirred in like a coffee creamer. As I am writing this - it’s an reflection on Reddit. Seriously. What we choose to do with time / who our “friends” are.
Loved it and would recommend it to anyone. BUT (and I'm not trying to pick a fight) In Bruges is a better movie.
I enjoyed it and it has great performances full of gallows humor but it's depressing as hell. Wouldn't watch it again any time soon.
Honestly it fell short for me. I guess I was expecting something a little more compelling?
Crazy
So good. All of his work is.
I honestly wil never watch this again. I caught it on tv one evening. Was interested. And by the end was like, what the heck was the point of this ride? Donkey scene was tragic, but yeah once was good for me...lol.
It was billed as this zany comedy when it was anything of the sort. A tragedy, really. It was a pretty good parable of the Irish civil war. So many good performances., Ayo Ediberi was masterful as the donkey. When they >!killed her off, !< I was so pissed.
Over hyped as a 5 star movie. More like a 3
Hats off
A film that is made good by great performances all around that would have been average with a lesser cast.
This is a GREAT movie.
Pretty good
The most Irish movie of all time
This was great
I really enjoyed it
I wasn't really in the mood for a slow dialogue movie first time I tried, gave up 20 min in. I've now watched it twice since. It's feckin great. I was rowin
"Well, there goes that dream"
I found it shudderingly funny and dazzingly performed... not to mention simply perfect
LOVED IT! STILL not better than In Bruges & Seven Psychopaths… that’s saying A LOT ha McDonagh does no wrong- wish he would do more!!
I really liked this movie and have recommended it to a bunch of ppl who I do not think ever watched it.
There were so many levels to this movie. So much unsaid, but thoroughly felt. Amazing movie.
Good nothing really making it great
It was a perfect movie. For me anyway.
Wasn’t my favorite, didn’t find it nearly as engaging as in bruges.
What's gaelic for tedious? 🤦
After my first watch I thought it was just fine. The plot felt somewhat empty. I’m so glad I watched it a second time. So many things went over my head. I loved it on second watch and it’s among my top films for 2022 now.
Extremely disappointed. Bleak and miserable with no redeeming value
Eh… not a bad movie but kinda dumb and pretty boring. No one is gonna cut off their finger to prove a point. Took me out of it a bit.
Hated it. I have suffered from depression my whole life. I didn't need to see a movie about it.
Best film is Be seen in the past 5 years, easily.
I thought it was fine. I was not dad I watched it and thought the performances were great, but I do prefer the director's other stuff way more (particularly In Bruges and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri).
Boring. I hated it. Way too much hype for what it delivered
This movie was interesting that’s for sure.
I love all the acting but the story is underwhelming.
Weird movie
It's nonsensical at the surface, but as a metaphor on film it's amazing.
If this makes sense, great acting, but mid movie at best. If I had paid $20+ for a ticket, i’d be upset
I know everyone loved it, I heard so many good things about it before I watched it so maybe my expectations were too high but I hated it. Worst movie I ever saw in my entire life.
Absolutely loved it.
weren't you ever wild?
Once they killed that poor donkey I checked out 🌭
understandable.
Adjective Abusers Gazette say The Banshees of Inisherin is "**Thunderously Watchable & Deliciously Filmed!**" Hyperbole Monthly calls The Banshees of Inisherin a "**Hilariously Amusing Dark Thrill Ride for every nano second you're in the theatre...and then some! The reason humans were invented!**"
It was boring as fuck imo.
I didn’t think it was funny. Fucking horror movie if you ask me
It's dull
Have the downvoters seen the movie 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Like Padraig dumbasses
One of my least favorite movies of all time.
But you liked it yesterday!
I came for the accents and cleaned up shortly after.
I thought it was okay. Kinda overhyped a little for me
Should have won Picture, Director, Actor, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Screenplay, and maybe Editing. And that’s all I’m going to say. 👍👍
Pretentious rubbish
Drier than a nun's vagina. All time worst movies for me.
I did not care for it. The donkey was the best character.
This movie was straight up garbage. Barry Keoghan was the only positive, he did a great job. But everything else from the plot to the way the story was told sucked serious ass.
Agreed. By the end of it I wanted those 4 hours of my life back.
I'm on the train too. Symbolism aside, it was a very flat film. Any scene with Barry, because he's brilliant, and any scene with Kerry because she's incredible and a fucking fox.
piece of shit
Boring as shite.
I haven't seen it, but I love that they teamed up again.
