The Banshees of Inisherin

Product Information

The Irishry is extreme, not much offset by the suggestion that Pádraic and Colm’s differences are a microcosm of those tearing the mainland apart. Such terminal Irishry, in fact, is perhaps only possible among the diaspora (McDonagh is a Londoner) but, as we all know from the extraordinary strength of Irish fiction, it’s a world that enables storytelling like nowhere else. This brilliantly nasty fairy tale knows its place.

Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell in The Banshees of Inisherin (Image credit: Jonathan Hession/20th Century Studios) Colm Doherty: If you don't stop talkin' to me, and if you don't stop botherin' me, or sendin' your sister or your priest to bother me... Pádraic Súilleabháin: I didn't send me sister to bother you, did I? She has her own mind. Although, I did send the priest though, you have me there. Colm Doherty: What I've decided to do is this. I have a set of shears at home. And each time you bother me from this day on, I'll take those shears and I'll take one of me fingers off with them. And I'll give that finger to ya. A finger from me left hand. Me fiddle hand. And each day you bother me more, another I'll take off and I'll give ya until you see sense enough to stop. Or until I have no fingers left. Does this make things clearer to ya? Pádraic Súilleabháin: Not really, no. Colm Doherty: Because I don't want to hurt your feelings, Padraic. I don't, like. But it feels like the drastic is the only option left open to me. Pádraic Súilleabháin: You've loads of options left open to ya. How's fingers the first port of call? Colm Doherty: Please, don't talk to me no more, Padraic. Please. I'm begging you. Pádraic Súilleabháin: But... Jonjo Devine: Shush, like, Padraic. Just, you know, shush, like. Gerry: Yeah, I'd shush, like. Pádraic Súilleabháin: I will shush. Except me and me sister were thinking, you might just be a bit depressed, Colm. And I tell you this much, fingers just confirms it. Don't you think, Colm? Colm Doherty: Starting from now. Hanson, Mark (15 September 2022). " The Banshees of Inisherin Review: A Tragicomic Look at Loneliness". Slant Magazine .

The characters remark upon them occasionally, musing on the fighting that’s happening over there, a conflict they hope and believe will be over soon. No matter — it doesn’t touch them here on the island, where it’s Colm and Pádraic’s break that occupies everyone’s attention.
