      The Banshees of Inisherin Reviews

      There are no missteps here, and it is, without a doubt, the best movie of the year for my money.

      Full Review | Feb 28, 2024

      Raw and weird, it’s a mordant fable of friendship gone sour that will have you questioning your own mortality while simultaneously making you laugh until it makes you cry.

      Dominic is the most tragic character in an island of pure, untempered tragedy.

      Full Review | Jan 29, 2024

      The greatest tragedy of all is that one of the friends will sacrifice what made them special, only to become another banshee of Inisherin.

      A dark comedy, at times with a great dramatic component, that explores human relationships and interpersonal communication with a lot of charisma and in a highly entertaining way. [Full review in Spanish]

      McDonagh finds the perfect moments to insert humor, but the film’s comedic turns often serve to underscore the scope of the tragedy.

      A fascinating examination of male loneliness and hurt feelings.

      McDonagh uses the conflict between Pádraic and Colm to serve as a metaphor for the Irish Civil War. Brother against brother. Friends against friends. Their friendship loses itself in the fables of Inisherin forever.

      Its heartbreak is as potent as its comedy, both intertwined with the rhythms of the dialogue.

      It's delightful to watch these two character actors go back and forth...These two actors [Colin Farrell & Brendan Gleeson] are at the top of their game.

      Full Review | Original Score: 9/10 | Aug 10, 2023

      Colin Farrell’s performances lifts this quirk and dark comedy from Martin McDonagh.

      Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Aug 9, 2023

      The Banshees of Inisherin, as the title implies, is about death, both literal and figurative, but it’s the sad demise of a friendship that forms the bedrock of this brilliant, often poignant, frequently funny Irish fable.

      Full Review | Jul 26, 2023

      Strikingly funny and heartbreakingly honest, Martin McDonagh returns to form by telling the tale of a non-romantic breakup, the sadness of being dumped, and the tricky business of dumping someone.

      Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 25, 2023

      Martin McDonagh explores the painful part of human relationships by finding the comedy and gore contained within.

      Full Review | Jul 25, 2023

      The Banshees of Inisherin is brilliant beyond belief. Darkly Hilarious, emotional, & Richly layered with themes of fate, friendship, & death. Colin & Brendan were stunning! Martin McDonagh though might of just directed & wrote his best film of his career

      Full Review | Jul 25, 2023

      The Banshees of Inisherin fluctuates from deeply sad to darkly humorous, a mirror of life itself.

      Full Review | Jul 24, 2023

      The Banshees of Inisherin is a hilarious, morbid, and beautifully shot film with astounding performers bringing mortality’s uncertainties front and center.

      Full Review | Jul 23, 2023

      There’s a lot of repetition in The Banshees of Inisherin, both in its quips and narrative plotlines, which tended to get under my skin as I got intrigued for one second, and the next, I was out of the experience.

      Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Jul 22, 2023

      "The Banshees of Inisherin" is a movie that could only come from the mind of Martin McDonagh. The writer-director remains a singular talent, whose dialogue jumps off the screen and becomes the star of the show. His latest is no different.

      Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 16, 2023

      We're beholding a totally gratuitous drama, driven by inexplicable motives. [Full review in Spanish]
