Has anyone seen The Banshees of Inisherin?

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

(I searched for a "movie review" thread but could not find one)

It is not really a comedy, dark comedy maybe, but extremely thought provoking and a bit shocking. I have been replaying scenes in my head over and over. I eventually figured out it was really an allegory of the Irish Civil War. The acting was ridiculously good, Colin Farrell should get Oscar nomination. Highly recommend it, but don't expect a lot of laughing.

I posted about it in the new film trailers thread last week. In agreement with you but there were some really hysterical moments in the film especially with the character of Dominic. Oscar worthy film and performances.

Just to clarify:

the New Movie Trailers thread that @rudedude linked is supposed to be for discussions about trailers that are released before a movie is released.

The movie thread, where folks can post questions about current movies, or movie reviews, is:

OT: TMB Movie Club - Use this thread for feature films in theaters or streaming....

Or tuck this under the 'Eternals' thread started earlier. I love a good Western and there are a couple that caught my attention; looking forward to seeing these on Netflix:

I'm hesitant to do that.

The best approach seems to be to remember keywords, and just do a search on them. So if you do a search (in this forum) for all posts that have Movie in the title, it's not too difficult to find the appropriate thread.

It's a sort of sequel to 'In Bruges' right? Definitely looking forward to checking this out.

To my understanding, no. Same actors and director but different characters.

Ah okay - interesting.

Thanks... sorry for muddying up the waters

Just saw it last week. I thought it was of course very well done and surprisingly funny. Can't recommend the McDonaghs enough - Calvary by John Michael McDonagh is one of my favorites and you'll recognize many of the actors from this movie. The Guard, In Bruges, War on Everyone are all fantastic. It's a shame they don't make more movies.

No takes place on a small island off the main coast of Ireland during the civil war there.

Also the offbeat Seven Psychopaths with Colin Farrell, Christopher Walken, Woody Harrelson.

Muddy Waters goes under the Old Bluesman thread, sorry!

Ok sure. Hesitant because it takes time away from posting pics in the Weather Report thread, eh?
