Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland, The Banshees of Inisherin follows lifelong friends Pádraic (Colin Farrell) and Colm (Brendan Gleeson), who find themselves at an impasse when Colm unexpectedly puts an end to their friendship. A stunned Pádraic, aided by his sister Siobhán (Kerry Condon) and troubled young islander Dominic (Barry Keoghan), 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.

The Garden Cinema View: With resonances of his best stage work, The Banshees of Inisherin is Martin McDonagh's most sincere film to date, and his funniest since his debut feature, In Bruges. The strong performances from an excellent cast, and the beautifully photographed landscapes of West Ireland also lend a sense of melancholy to this blackly comic exploration of male friendship.
