Martin McDonagh (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) returns to film with The Banshees of Inisherin, a comedy/drama that stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as two friends on the outs of their relationship. Set in 1920's Ireland, Pádraic (Farrell) has a simple life that is upended when one day, his friend Colm (Gleeson) decides that Pádraic adds nothing to his life and that he'd rather spend his remaining years pursuing things to be ed by. Pádraic cannot accept this, leading to a never-ending escalation on both ends and darkly comedic outcomes. The film examines the concept of non-romantic break-ups and the challenges of coping with losing a close friend for what seems to be no reason.
