About this deal

However, as a story & a film, I could only ever be partially engaged with it. The script is full of the excellent acidic prose that McDonagh is known for, but the actual narrative is actually quite boring at times. Nothing much really happens & at times also really stretches credulity. For example, despite the larger than life theme & overall ridiculousness, not liking someone then hideously maiming yourself to prove a point just didn't work for me. And whilst there were some quite poignant & deep musings on life at times, again it just didn't really fit the film for me. Then we come to the ending, which is a bit of a damp squib. The film just, sort of, finishes & I was left wondering "OK... Was that it?"

mentioning how he loves the fact the McDonagh writes stories where there are no clear "heroes and villains", and that, as Gleeson states, "we're all are supposedly "allegorical", in that the film is set during the Irish Civil War, and in fact the islanders of the film often get "long distance" sightings a b Bender, Abbey (15 December 2022).

curious but curiously affecting story is simplicity itself: Pádraic Súilleabháin (Colin Farrell) is stunned one day when out of the blue his lifelong friend From director-writer Martin McDonagh comes a unique film starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson. Although Pádraic (Farrell) and Colm (Gleeson) have been lifelong friends, they find themselves at an impasse when one abruptly ends their relationship, bringing alarming consequences for both of them.

Side guide

Set on the aforementioned titular island during the Irish Civil war, the premise itself is extremely simple: Pádraic Súilleabháin & Colm Doherty live close to each other in the close-knit community of Inisherin, spending their time chatting, usually at the local pub whilst drinking. One day (immediately as the film starts,) Colm simply stops talking to Pádraic & never wants anything to do with him again or be his friend. Pádraic cannot deal with this & is determined to keep talking to & be around Colm. When Colm is not left alone despite repeatedly asking to be, he then threatens to cut off his own fingers.

David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter called the film "a ruminative ensemble piece that expertly balances the tragicomic with the macabre, inhabiting territory adjacent to McDonagh's stage work yet also sweepingly cinematic". [66] Robbie Collin of The Telegraph awarded it 5/5 stars and called it "an often shoulder-shudderingly funny film, whose comic dialogue is dazzlingly designed and performed". [67] If you’ve never been to Ireland, this is a pretty good representation of what it looks like. Green. As far as the eye can see. I remember looking at the countryside from my bus and being amazed how everything was so…green! And cows. And sheep. Lots of both. Moving onto the film, however, it’s beautifully-shot. I very much enjoy the way that McDonagh’s films look visually. Fox’s 2.39:1 AVC HD image leaves nothing to the imagination, either. It’s razor sharp, showcases the lush landscapes and beautiful cinematography. Colors are bright and bold. Detail is spot on as well, we can now see that In Bruges was indeed a decade and a half ago as evidenced by some new wrinkles and grey hair in the stars. Audio: How’s it sound?
