Wenlei Ma News.com.au Martin McDonagh expertly threads humour and pathos like a master weaver who knows exactly when to change colours. Rated: 4.5/5 Jan 2, 2023 Full Review David Stratton The Australian The Banshees of Inisherin is not just a beautifully written screenplay. This deeply affecting, warmly humorous, beautifully acted and handsomely photographed (by Ben Davis) film is a major work and top of my list for the best film of 2022. Rated: 5/5 Dec 23, 2022 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) As a comedy duo, Farrell and Gleeson are money in the bank, just as they were in McDonagh’s first feature In Bruges. As a pairing of actor and filmmaker, Farrell and McDonagh are no less in sync. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 23, 2022 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab iNews.co.uk Brilliantly performed by Irish cinema’s favourite odd couple Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, Martin McDonagh's latest is as dark and absurd as any Samuel Beckett play. Rated: 4/5 Jan 17, 2025 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a low-key and often excessively deliberate endeavor that never quite becomes as engrossing or captivating as one might’ve anticipated... Rated: 3/4 Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Calum Cooper In Their Own League The comedy is a veil for deep, complex themes that give “The Banshees of Inisherin” humour and pathos. Among these are measured explorations on toxic masculinity, loneliness, and purpose. Rated: 5/5 Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Steve Conley It was not a happy movie very depressing. I couldn't recommend it to anyone. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/12/23 Full Review John Acting was great. The film was very dark. Scenery was very good. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/23 Full Review Pat Strangest movie i've seen in a long time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/23 Full Review Linda W Fantastic acting, but dark. Once the donkey died, I was upset. Don't like animals being killed off as a plot device. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/05/23 Full Review NK Well written and acted. Irish countryside was magnificent! Sad story with moments of offbeat humor. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/05/23 Full Review Debra Worst movie ever. Chopping off fingers, killing a donkey . Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews

A stunned Pádraic, aided by his sister Siobhán and troubled young islander Dominic, endeavours to repair the relationship, refusing to take no for an answer.
