Martin McDonagh delivers the best black tragicomedy in decades. Colin Farrell provides the performance of a lifetime, including the body language of his character, that will leave you in awe. Read more

This wickedly funny, beautifully shot tale of male friendship soured is a fitting addition to McDonagh’s already stacked oeuvre. Read more

What a marvellous film The Banshees of Inisherin is. Funny, poignant, intelligent, beautiful, Shakespearean and at times gut-wrenching. This is a film made by a true master of his craft. Read more

The Banshees of Inisherin mines a kind of pain uncommon on a big screen. In Martin McDonaugh fashion, the mining is done with wit, insight, humanity and absolutely world-class acting. It must not be missed. Read more

Insensitively dark, peculiarly humorous and wildly depressing, The Banshees of Inisherin touches the puerile, the hilarious and the creepy. Read more

Niceness, in any of its shades, is hard to find in The Banshee of Inisherin, but there’s something uncommonly compelling about absorbing and weathering this march to calamity. Read more

There's nothing romantic about McDonagh's film, but unlike those of his brother, it's never cruel or cynical, simply an honest, observant take on how messed up we all are, whether Irish or not. Read more

I can’t pretend to fully grasp what McDonagh’s trying to say here. There’s a Shakespearean influence in that the story starts out as a comedy and ends in a tragedy. I come away not as enamored with this film as I thought I would. It’s something I appreciate, even admire, but not love. Read more

The Banshees of Inisherin is een even meeslepende als grappige schets van mannelijke eenzaamheid en ingehouden woede. Read more

Gleeson speelt meer ingetogen en terughoudend, terwijl je achter de ogen van Farrell verdriet en eenzaamheid ziet. Compleet terecht dat ze beide zijn genomineerd voor een Oscar. Read more
