There’s a slim chance you’ve seen Barry Keoghan’s performance in The Banshees of Inisherin with dry eyes. Managing to break a heart in just under a minute, Keoghan paints his character Dominic with a vulnerability and rawness so pure that it rivals the backdrop of clear Irish waters and swaths of green cliffs.
His performance earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, alongside costar Brendan Gleeson. The critically acclaimed movie, which depicts a dissolving friendship between Gleeson's and Colin Farrell’s characters in a picturesque but slow, coastal Ireland town, picked up nine Oscar nominations this week.
