This film is garnering great accolades by the reviewers and has been nominated for virtually every award. How could a film be bad with Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleason who were both in the film In Bruges many years ago. I can say that the acting is superb and the cinematography was beautiful The story was interesting But the parts in the film of self mutilation was for me and my wife so over the top that it quickly fell from our anticipation of a great film to one where for us it just totally ruined the entire movie. Cutting off fingers and throwing the severed digits at people and their front doors just didn't do it for us as a film. I am betting it will win many awards but my wife and I could not come to grips with the self mutilation.
Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland, THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN follows lifelong friends Pádraic (Colin Farrell) and Colm (Brendan Gleeson), who find themselves at an impasse when Colm unexpectedly puts an end to their friendship. A stunned Pádraic, aided by his sister Siobhán (Kerry Condon) and troubled young islander Dominic (Barry Keoghan), endeavours to repair the relationship, refusing to take no for an answer. But Pádraic's repeated efforts only strengthen his former friend’s resolve and when Colm delivers a desperate ultimatum, events swiftly escalate, with shocking consequences. Cast: Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Kerry Condon, Barry Keoghan
Im sure there are many here who willl disagree and state it to be the best film this year. So many things were great about the film. It was the recurring theme of self mutilation that turned me and my wife off. The ending can be interpreted in many ways but it isn't a film I would ever watch twice in spite of so many good things about the film
