Op het woeste, afgelegen Ierse eiland Inisherin wonen Colm en Pádraic, die al hun hele leven beste vrienden zijn. Als Colm op een dag volledig uit het niets abrupt een punt zet achter hun vriendschap, staat Pádraic versteld. Colm weigert nog een woord tegen hem te zeggen. Samen met zijn zus Siobhán en de ietwat gestoorde Dominic probeert Pádraic vanalles om hun relatie te herstellen. Tot Colm een wanhopig ultimatum stelt en de situatie compleet escaleert. De gevolgen zijn schokkend.

Troosteloos, absurd, en super grappig - misschien wel de beste film van Martin McDonagh (‘In Bruges’, ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’) met fantastische, verrassende vertolkingen van sterren Colin Farrell en Brendan Gleeson.

EN
Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland, THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN follows lifelong friends Pádraic and Colm, who find themselves at an impasse when Colm unexpectedly puts an end to their friendship. 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. But Pádraic’s repeated efforts only strengthen his former friend’s resolve and when Colm delivers a desperate ultimatum, events swiftly escalate, with shocking consequences.

Featuring some of Martin McDonagh’s finest work and a pair of outstanding lead performances, The Banshees of Inisherin is a finely crafted feel-bad treat.

★

“McDonagh’s latest is heart-wrenching in its simplicity, dark-humoured and unadorned in its sentiments. It’s a film equal to In Bruges—perhaps even more effective in the way its relative restraint presents brutality as humdrum as a trip to the pub.” - ★★★★★ The Independent

“A stone cold classic.” - ★★★★★ London Evening Standard

“Ignited by career-best performances from Colin Farrell and Bredan Gleason, this new classic from son of Ireland Martin McDonagh brims over with dark comic magic and jolts of bloody scary hell. Fasten your seatbelts for one of the best movies of the year.” - ABC News

“Another great feel-bad treat from Martin McDonagh, featuring one of Colin Farrell’s best performances yet as a guy trying (and failing) to deal with the fallout of a falling out.” - ★★★★ Empire Magazine

“Wounded but funny, quiet but resonant and resistant to anything like a Hollywood formula, The Banshees of Inisherin is a strangely profound little comedy. It’s one of the few true originals among movies this year.” - The Wall Street Journal

“This is an often shoulder-shudderingly funny film, whose comic dialogue is dazzlingly designed and performed. But McDonagh leaves fate itself with the last, black, bone-rattling laugh.” - ★★★★★ The Daily Telegraph
