I think, perhaps, you have to be in a certain mood to watch and appreciate this film properly. Patient, but alert and attentive to catch the subtleties of the slow-burn plot. Oh...I should mention it is very Irish. If you don't know what that means, well... watch the film and you'll get a glimmer. The acting and scenery are marvelous, as others have noted. The plot as a metaphor for the Irish Civil War and so on. The strange sudden "unfriending" and the bizarre twists and turns it takes as a commentary on human nature and isolation amid a tedious present and an uncertain future. There's no hand-holding and you have to read between the lines to understand it well. The humor is dry, dark and subtle, sprinkled in by small doses. I suppose I must have been in the right mood to appreciate it, and largely absent expectations (other than that there would be good acting, which was so). People expecting more of a comedy will be disappointed, I think, as will those expecting a light-hearted or uplifting conclusion. Still, I thought it was quite interesting, and certainly different.

You've played together, endured the weather, for many years; but something's changed, you've been estranged, gears now sheared; the reason seems completely mad, you've not done anything that's bad, the situation's quite bizarre and very weird. So you persevere, keep holding out your hand, but all that does, is cause the flames, to be more fanned, out of spite your friend wont linger, raises more than a mid-finger, it's like you've been black balled, suppressed, banished and banned. More diplomacy results in loss and pain, while there's nothing to be won, you won't refrain, the lines have now been drawn, only one thing this will spawn, it's as avoidable, as it's stupid and insane. Reflecting the friction and war taking place over the water, and the reasons for it, with four outstanding performances, although Barry Keoghan absolutely knocks it out of the park, a film to get you thinking about what it means to get along, and the repercussions when two tribes don't, even over the most trivial of torments.

I love films and I can't remember the last time I was so disappointed. The central characters are a man (Brendan Gleeson) who decides unilaterally to reject his long term friend with no explanation apart from "I don't like you any more". When the friend (Colin Farrell) can't accept this rejection, the man starts to mutilate himself unless the friend stops talking to him. Along the arc of this unpleasant story, the film manages to poke fun at an abusive father, a young boy who's struggling with this abusive relationship and his attraction to one of the main character's sister. These threads are never explored properly, they just happen with no background and no depth. You witness these blighted lives and you aren't given any context to allow you to feel sympathy for these characters. My fellow film watchers were giggling from shock more than anything else, I think. I'm obviously missing something here because I found the experience unpleasant and the it seems to be rated highly here. Can someone please comment and put me right?

The Banshees of Inisherin was an unusual movie, featuring gorgeous vistas, on-point acting and haunting music. However, it was ultimately unsatisfying because it never really rose above a persistent, downbeat nihilism. I took the movie as a kind of allegory on human irrationality and miscommunication, seen vividly on the mainland during the Irish Civil War, and in microcosm in the relationship between Padraic and Colm. It was also an extended study on the wages of untreated mental illness, as Colm chose to do nothing to treat his "despair" (that is, depression), and instead wreaked havoc upon himself and his erstwhile best mate. My problem with Banshees is that the great movies that reflect the insanity of the human condition, at the end of the day, still have something redemptive about them. The great anti-war, movies-Bridge on the River Kwai, For Whom the Bell Tolls, MASH, Atonement-all deliver some form of redemption amid the pain. Banshees only leaves one feeling hopeless at the end. The very bleakness of the movie unfortunately drags it down.
