Steve Conley It was not a happy movie very depressing. I couldn't recommend it to anyone. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/12/23 Full Review John Acting was great. The film was very dark. Scenery was very good. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/23 Full Review Pat Strangest movie i've seen in a long time. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/23 Full Review Linda W Fantastic acting, but dark. Once the donkey died, I was upset. Don't like animals being killed off as a plot device. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/05/23 Full Review NK Well written and acted. Irish countryside was magnificent! Sad story with moments of offbeat humor. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/05/23 Full Review Debra Worst movie ever. Chopping off fingers, killing a donkey .

The Banshees of Inisherin | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Wenlei Ma News.com.au Martin McDonagh expertly threads humour and pathos like a master weaver who knows exactly when to change colours. Rated: 4.5/5 Jan 2, 2023 Full Review The Banshees of Inisherin | Rotten Tomatoes (2) 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 Dec 23, 2022 Full Review The Banshees of Inisherin | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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 Dec 23, 2022 Full Review The Banshees of Inisherin | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Dave Giannini InSession Film There are no missteps here, and it is, without a doubt, the best movie of the year for my money. Feb 28, 2024 Full Review The Banshees of Inisherin | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Marya E. Gates 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. Feb 13, 2024 Full Review The Banshees of Inisherin | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Elisa Guimarães Collider Dominic is the most tragic character in an island of pure, untempered tragedy.
