SoberChef Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 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.

Moa Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Looks good. I adore in Bruges and Farrell and Gleeson have some of the best chemistry I've ever seen. Curious how in the 15 years since In Bruges Colin Farrell has aged 15 years and Gleeson hasn't aged a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 In Bruges is a top tier film, and I think both Seven Psychopaths and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri are also really good. It's a Martin McDonagh film with Gleeson and Farrell - I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I'd say he hasn't even really aged since '28 Days Later' I have (unfortunately) never seen 'In Bruges', yet its one of those films I hear about constantly. Need to rectify that I think. As for 'Seven Psychopaths', that is one HELL of a freaking film for sure, wasn't aware that 'Three Billboards...' was also a McDonagh film, intriguing.

TheLeon Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 In Bruges is pretty high on my list of favorite movies, so a reunion of these three guys is very exciting to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeluge Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I was putting a lot of faith in this regrouping because while I love In Bruges, I strongly dislike McDonagh's two more recent films. Thankfully, this is a homer, and possibly his best to date (certainly his most mature.) I had the pleasure of being in a theater with a bunch of older folks who didn't find the movie very amusing and were subjected to me laughing pretty continuously throughout this, and bellowing at one more classically-structured joke in particular that caught me completely off-guard. Roundabout way of saying it's very funny, while also being brutally emotional at times, especially as it rounds the bend to the end. Delves deep into Pádraic's (Farrell) self-doubts surrounding himself and his friend and Colm's (Gleeson) reason for the sudden cold shoulder and attendant fears, and some not-so-natural escalations that follow. Farrell's the standout I'd say, but I want to shout out Kerry Condon who does brilliant work as the only sane person on the island. She exudes so much heart and warmth here as Pádraic's sister, trying to ease her brother's insecurities and bat away Colm's pointed comparisons between the two of them. And I forgot Keoghan was in this. Love that guy. He's another weirdo here. But a different kind of weirdo than he's done before. He has so many weirdos in him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 Finally got around to watching "In Bruges". What a hell of a fucking fil-m!!! Makes me even more excited now to see Banshees for sure. Side note: Between this & "The Gentleman", why exactly does Colin say "film" like "phil-em"!?

It's a regional dialect thing, lot of Scots and Irish do it, especially outside of the big cities. Looked into it a while ago, but anecdotally, I met two Irish and two Scots back in June and it naturally came up, and with them all being from more comparatively rural/coastal towns, they all pronounced it with two syllables. I was the odd one with my single-syllable American pronunciation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 That was fast- this is already on HBO Max here in ‘Murica. Great movie, probably in my top 5 of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t surprise me that Farrell is the standout given how funny he is during In Bruges; even to this day I’ll occasionally think of his line deliveries (especially with the tourist) and chuckle. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the lines he has in that film are absolutely astonishing. As a viewer I was genuinely saying aloud "Who the fuck says that!?" all while having tears in my eyes & gasping for breath from laughing hysterically!

stepee Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 That was quire funny, a bit sad, and wonderfully played by Farrell. It’s crazy how good of an actor he ended up being. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I think I wrote about it in the "Movies You've Seen" thread but yeah, I loved this one as well. It's one of those movies that kind of just took me with its ride and vastly more bizarre shit could've happened and I would've been on board with it just because I found the world and atmosphere it created so believable and immersive. His sister cursing people out was a real treat every single time! PS: Also big fan of In Bruges. Saw it at the local indie theater when it came out and preordered it on DVD as soon as I had the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moa Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Martin McDonagh sure seems to believe in sticking to one's principles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
