Our take on The Banshees of Inisherin

Martin McDonagh's 2022 comedy-drama follows two lifelong friends on a remote island who reach an impasse when one abruptly ends the relationship, with alarming consequences for both. From that stubborn, inexplicable rupture McDonagh spins a darkly funny, aching study of loneliness, pride and the small cruelties people inflict when a bond breaks. The humor is bleak and the sorrow real, played out against a stark, windswept landscape that mirrors the widening rift. It suits viewers who like their comedy laced with melancholy and their dramas sharp and unsettling, drawn to character-driven stories about friendship, meaning and the quiet desperation of people who no longer know how to reach each other.
