Audience Consensus

If you don't mind a slow, sad story, The Banshees of Inisherin is worth watching thanks to gorgeous scenery and some terrific acting.

Fantastic acting, but dark. Once the donkey died, I was upset. Don't like animals being killed off as a plot device.

Well written and acted. Irish countryside was magnificent! Sad story with moments of offbeat humor.

Martin McDonagh expertly threads humour and pathos like a master weaver who knows exactly when to change colours.

David Stratton

The Australian

The Banshees of Inisherin is not just a beautifully written screenplay. This deeply affecting, warmly humorous, beautifully acted and handsomely photographed (by Ben Davis) film is a major work and top of my list for the best film of 2022.

Rated: 5/5

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

As a comedy duo, Farrell and Gleeson are money in the bank, just as they were in McDonagh’s first feature In Bruges. As a pairing of actor and filmmaker, Farrell and McDonagh are no less in sync.

Rated: 3.5/5

There are no missteps here, and it is, without a doubt, the best movie of the year for my money.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

Raw and weird, it’s a mordant fable of friendship gone sour that will have you questioning your own mortality while simultaneously making you laugh until it makes you cry.

Dominic is the most tragic character in an island of pure, untempered tragedy.
