The Banshees of Inisherin

Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson reunite with writer-director Martin McDonagh following their hit 2008 black comedy In Bruges. Set on a remote island off the coast of Ireland, The Bansees of Inisherin follows Pádraic (Farrell) and Colm (Gleeson), two lifelong friends who find themselves at an impasse when Colm unexpectedly puts an end to their friendship.

A stunned Padraic attempts to repair their relationship with the help of his sister Siobhan (Kerry Condon) and young islander Dominic (Barry Keoghan). But Padraic’s repeated efforts only strengthen his former friend’s resolve, and when Colm delivers a desperate ultimatum, events swiftly escalate with alarming consequences.

The Bansees of Inisherin received a whopping eight nominations for next year’s Golden Globe Awards, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Director.
