The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)
- cactusplant7374 4y agoDeals with the idea that friendship, while supportive and kind, can also be extremely dull. At least that was my takeaway. What makes any relationship worth it?
- sys32768 4y agoThis film fell flat for me. If that was the director's intention, then job well done. My friend with Irish relatives said it was a hilarious study of Irish stubbornness. My favorite movie based in Ireland is The Field (1990), based on the play by Irish playwright John B. Keane. Profoundly dark, allegorical, haunting: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099566/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099566/
- afarviral 4y agoMy partner I found it gripping and unsettling from start to finish, and yet hilarious and heart warming and life affirming. It's a weird genre we decided; tragi-comedy. In some ways all the funniest bits were in the trailer, but the trailer doesn't really prepare you for the tragic parts.
