The Banshees of Inisherin (15)

Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell star in the new tragicomedy from In Bruges writer-director Martin McDonagh.

Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland in 1923, The Banshees of Inisherin follows lifelong friends Pádraic (Farrell) and Colm (Gleeson), who find themselves at an impasse when Colm unexpectedly puts an end to their friendship. A stunned Pádraic, aided by his sister Siobhan (Kerry Condon), endeavours to repair the relationship, refusing to take no for an answer. But when Colm delivers an ultimatum, things quickly escalate, with shocking consequences. 

Please note: some screenings of this film will be subtitled.

“A strong contender for the Oscars best picture race... hilarious, horrifying, heartbreaking” – Mark Kermode, The Guardian
