In The Banshees of Inisherin, Colin Farrell 'once again makes the case that he is one of the more underappreciated movie stars of his era,' writes rilaws
—is quaint and quirky, melancholy and distinctively Irish, a better mode for a writer and filmmaker who gets inexact when he takes bigger swings .is about a friendship gone sour. Is there a metaphor there? Yes, I think so. Pádraic is a dim and affable guy who tends to his livestock and spends time every day at the only pub in town. In the past, he’s been the inseparable drinking companion of Colm , older and morose with a touch of the poet in him.
The film unfolds in grim and sorrowful episodes, ones that are funny in a sideways fashion, until McDonagh gently reminds us how deep the pain and confusion at the heart of both men really is. Now that he’s finally got some peace and quiet, Colm sets about writing a song, a folk tune he hopes will be sung long after he’s gone. He’s trying to build a legacy, some bit of him that will last, that will leave an impression on a world he feels he’s merely stumbling through inconsequentially.
