The Banshees of Inisherin

CriticsCritics: 92
AudienceAudience: 7.5

On a remote Irish island, a contented man is bewildered when his longtime friend abruptly ends their daily companionship. As he tries to understand and repair the rupture, their strained relationship grows increasingly tense, drawing the surrounding community into a darkly comic and unsettling examination of loneliness, pride, and the need to be remembered.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you appreciate thoughtful, darkly comic stories about friendship, isolation, and human stubbornness, especially films like In Bruges; Not for you if you want fast action or a cheerful resolution.
