The Banshees of Inisherin 2022

A simple story but incredibly layered dealing with loneliness, existentialism, loss, friendship, self-discovery and the consequences - or rather the cost of ending a relationship. It hit close to home for me and affected me in ways I didn't expect. I think anyone who's lost touch with a friend before will relate to this. There's also some clever dark humor mixed in that made me laugh like the bread van scene and the Irish accent (good thing there's subtitles because it's hard to understand). The landscapes are absolutely gorgeous, great score, camerawork, it sets it's atmosphere from the very beginning and the acting: I don't think i've ever seen Colin Farrell so good and Brendan Gleeson's superb. The contrast between their two characters is what makes this work and creates a satisfying balance: similar to a lot of friendships! The ending felt too sudden.

Not dull in the slightest ayd say, a feckin' good movie!
