I do worry sometimes I might just be entertaining myself while staving off the inevitable.

The Banshees of Inisherin, Martin McDonagh (2022)

The Banshees of Inisherin (2022, dir. Martin McDonagh) - review by Rookie-Critic

The Banshees of Inisherin is a story about the corrupting power of cruelty and what can happen when we as people choose it over kindness. The powerhouse trio of director Martin McDonagh and stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are back for their first outing together since 2008's wildly hilarious In Bruges. This time, however, the film is much more somber in tone. It still has McDonagh's trademark humor, and the first two acts of the film especially are littered with the gut-bustingly funny chemistry that Farrell and Gleeson have (even if they are supposed to be at odds). The third act, while still containing some of that humor, is much more outwardly sad and leans into the despair and desperation of both characters almost full tilt. To me, it manages to balance both of these different tonal elements perfectly, at certain moments leaving the audience wanting to both laugh and cry simultaneously. Speaking in vague terms so as not to spoil anything, the unstoppable force definitely meets its immovable object here, and the clash is not only self destructive, but also counterproductive. The train is heading for the inevitable collision and never once stops to think it should attempt to brake. I'm normally not a fan of pessimistic movies, and this does on the surface seem to be exactly that, but I'm not so convinced that it's that cut and dry.

McDonagh's other three films (one of which, Seven Psychopaths, I admittedly have not seen) seem to practice an ideology that I have lovingly given the name "cynical optimism". Banshees, in a move that is both ballsy and, in my opinion, brilliant, chooses to go a different path, the exact opposite path, in fact, into what I can only describe as "hopeful pessimism". The film's central story of these two characters who can't seem to reconcile their very petty and small differences (or, at least, one of them can't) is set against the backdrop of early 1920s Ireland, at the tail end of the Irish Civil War. I'm not very familiar with Irish history or the nitty-gritty details of this war, but from what little I have read, it seems that it was a war that did nothing but divide a country that could have been stronger together, so it clearly mirrors our two troubled leads. The one character that seems to understand this, on both counts, is Siobhán Súilleabháin, the sister to Farrell's character Pádraic, played wonderfully by Kerry Condon. Siobhán pleads with both sides to try and reach some kind of peaceful conclusion, and it all seems to fall on deaf ears. There's also Barry Keoghan's character Dominic, who is essentially the town fool, but even he can see the unwinnable situation that Gleeson's Colm Doherty has put them in, and just wishes for everyone involved to just wash their hands of it and go their separate ways. I can tell that I'm rambling trying to talk around the major plot points of the film, and I can't go into the details of how I feel about its message and what it all means to me without heading into stark spoiler territory, so I'll just say this: I think Banshees functions well as a cautionary tale, with its one flaw being that the way it chooses to tell its tale can easily be misconstrued as hopeless. However, for me, it worked wonders, and it has cemented itself as my favorite film of McDonagh's, one of my favorite performances out of Farrell, and it has put itself firmly in the upper echelon of this year's offerings in my book.

Score: 10/10

The Banshees of Inisherin (2022, UK/USA)

Director & Writer: Martin McDonagh

Mini-review:

I must admit this movie was not what I expected, and I feel like the trailers were a bit misguiding. I thought it was going to focus on the mysterious reason why Colm ends the friendship with Pádraic, but that was solved almost right away and it was... underwhelming. I understand what the movie was trying to do, and the themes it deals with were interesting, but I just feel like we got off on the wrong foot. Still, the script has some really funny (and dark) moments and the acting by the four main actors is simply sublime. And the cinematography and the score are gorgeous, too. So yeah, this is definitely not a bad movie, but it just didn't meet the expectations I had, based on all the promotional material.

Rookie-Critic's Top 25 Films of 2022: #13: The Banshees of Inisherin (dir. Martin McDonagh)

This is an interesting one. Martin McDonagh's most outwardly-facing sad movie to date can be viewed through the lens of pure desperation and hopelessness, and there is an aspect of it that certainly is, as the film is in part a gigantic metaphor for the Irish Civil War of the early 1920s. However, and this is the reason the film truly shines for me, there is a strangeness here that almost feels hopeful. I have yet to give this a rewatch, which I would really like to do, but I remember feeling like not all hope was lost for Colin Farrell's Pádraic by the time the credits started to roll. Sure, there was an innocence that was lost, but by the end of the film there's a difference in the way Pádraic sees the world. It's maybe not the rose-tinted place he thought it was, and maybe that's a good thing. There's not a lot that can be said in talking about how I personally feel about Banshees without spoiling it, but I do encourage people to give this one a watch. It seems that every person I've talked to that's seen it has walked away from it with something different than the others who have watched it, making it the film on this list that might be the hardest to pin down.

@gayaristocrat something is brewing xx thoughts?

[maletfwitch]

If you can transform these actors into a different actor, who will you transform each of them into?

Jeremy Allen White, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ebon Moss-Bachrach

i’d turn Jeremy into his shameless co star Cameron Monaghan

I’d turn Aaron Taylor Johnson into Evan Peters since they both played quicksilver.

As for Ebon I'm not familiar with him, Guess i’ll let him replace the original Jeremy since he’s in "the bear" with him.

thanks for the ask
