I am a huge fan of the Irish and Scottish films rooted in their culture where the landscape feels like a character in the movie. It's my most awaited film of the year and with a review like this, i am so excited!
I remember watching the trailer and thinking this was a huge Oscar contender when a lot of people for some reason didn't think so. I mean, if you watch the trailer it seemed like it was an easy contender: amazing cinematography, writing, performances... I'm really glad it ended up exceeding my expectations.
I looove the McDonagh brothers, the Irish version of the Coen brothers, masters of dark comedy. Interesting that this uses the two leads of In Bruges and the same setting as Calvary which his brother John Michael directed, which also had Brendan Gleason in the starring role. John Michael also just had a film come out called The Forgiven with Ray Fiennes, which was an amazing watch.
In a film full of good performances Barry Keoghan's was easily the best. His accent, his facial expressions and his mannerisms gave you the impression that he had fully inhabited the character he played. I challenge you to watch the scene with Kerry Condon where he suffers rejection and not be impressed. People who aren't Irish might not appreciate just how good his accent was either.
Guys, the 2 leads represent the 2 sides of the Irish civil war and civil wars in general. It's a brilliant film full of symbolism. Go look up the history, it'll make more sense afterwards.
Yes! This was my favourite film of TIFF 2022 and I agree it's Colin Farrell's best work. If he doesn't get nominated for an Oscar, it will be a travesty.
8 nominations, 1 win: Picture Directing Actor (Farrell) Supp. Actor (Gleeson) Sup. Actress (Condon) Film Editing Original Score Original Screenplay -*WINNER*
I'm surprised you guys didn't mention that Colin Farrell won the prestigious Best Actor prize at the Venice Film Festival over Brendan Fraser (''The Whale'') and Hugh Jackman (''The Son'').
@@seankoontz4235 I feel out of the two possibilities, Gleeson's winning is more likely. Farrell has to battle Fraser, Jackman and Buttler (three with stronger win narratives) and Fraser will win most likely. Gleeson does have a huge challenger as well in Ke Huy Quan for EEAAO but that's it.
@S. Izaan It’s looking better for him now; at the time I thought he might be a little too subtle. I also thought Ben Whishaw was strong for a minute but most people aren’t gung-ho about him. So yeah, Gleeson is definitely the runner-up to Ke Huy Quan
I just watched the film last night tbh. Colin & Brendan were great in their acts but i think the 2 characters that were standing out were Kerry Condon's Siobhan & Barry Keoghan's Dominic. Beautiful cinematography and acting, no wonder these 4 actors were nominated for the oscars
Good review although you missed that this is clearly an allegory for the Irish Civil War of 1922-3 which pitted neighbor against neighbor. The war got started over seemingly inconsequential reasons then spun out of control until vengeance became became an end in itself. The war was referenced several times in the movie, especially in the final scene when on the beach when Padraig says, "some things there's no moving on from, and I think that's a good thing." On the hillside Mrs. McCormick sits on the hillside amid the ashes of Colm's house as Padraig and Colm depart in either direction with the banshee between them, foreboding more death and destruction. The story of Ireland. By the way, Inisherin in the Irish tongue is a combination is Inish and Erin meaning the Island of Ireland. This was the story of Ireland in allegorical form.
I really want GDT’s Pinocchio to be nominated for best picture If it has a nonzero chance for best costume design and production design, a song cuz it’s a musical, score and visual effects, and will win BAF, why can’t it get BP?
This would be a worthy best picture winner Triangle of sadness as well It seems like the big contenders are falling short It seems like babylon is the last one to pic. Tbh I think this years winner will come out of left field.
I really love this movie. it reminds me of my College days where my Classmate doesnt want to talk to me anymore because he wants to excel in his studies. I couldnt understand why he doesnt want to be friends with me.. Yes he excelled after what happened but I got depressed so I tried to talk him in of being friends until I got broken and flunk. Then I blamed him and try to put my life back and exercise and beat him in every subject his excelling and saw my potential. we did not talk for years until graduation and then he confessed he loves me and he kissed me. lol. thats a shocking twist..
It's hilarious but the comedy never detracts from how bleak the narrative is. I've never felt so melancholic yet so entertained watching a film before. Its as close to perfect a movie has been in a long, long time.
Watch Seven Psychopaths Right Now. Same writer/director Martin McDonald and Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Abbie Cornish aaaand Christopher Walken. My favourite dark comedy so far, but very much looking forward to seeing the Banshees of Inisherin
Just finally got to see this movie, really enjoyed it! I’m just kinda perplexed on the ending, anyone got a good interpretation of it? Like I’m just curious what the movies trying to say.
Finally watched it and every single performance was amazingly rich and honest. LOVED it. The story goes to a weird and dark place, but I was along for the ride. Also beautiful cinematography.
Barry Keoghan was my favourite performance, hands down. I thought the gimmick between the two main characters was funnier in "In Bruges". Generally I thought the comedy was not strong enough to lift the bleakness and to make the movie satisfying. Some of Gleeson's character's peculiar choices didn't make the character interesting to me, it just made him more unrelatable.
Why do people always fail to mention Seven Psychopaths when mentioning Martins filmography? That's his best movie. The rest are great too, but Seven Psychopaths is amazing.
Hard disagree. In Bruges and Three Billboards are great imo because they're so dark and unbalanced. The way they're written are very in line with McDonagh's plays, funny, dark, sad, touching, very bipolar, but in a good way. Seven Psychopaths feels like it could be on a double bill with the Hangover. Crass and flashy, without much substance.
@@jamesdan6895 Hard disagree back. Three billboards tries a little too hard to be grounded in reality and there's a ton of plot holes in it. How she was able to get away with burning down the police station with a Molotov cocktail and yet no one seems to find her culpable? How Dixon literally almost killed a guy, punched a girl and he walks away with just losing his job? How she literally drills a hole on the dentist and is let go without any repercussions? I will agree In burges is up there, but not on the level of psychopaths. Psychopaths has everything you mentioned lol. It has heart in the priest story about revenge turning into a story about peace with the monk burning himself in Saigon. Dark and sad from the subject matter in Christopher Walkens story about his daughter getting killed. It's funny, well written and full of witty snappy dialogue. It is his best movie. Hands down.
I think In Bruges is his best movie, one of the greatest of all time in general, but I agree with Seven Psychopath CLEARING Three Billboards... Seven Psychopaths is fantastic. Three Billboards lacked impact on re watches unfortunately.
There should have included a trigger warning at the beginning of the movie. My dog passed away recently and I'm still grieving, so one scene in the movie was triggering for me.
I would have rather see Colin move on like most adults when they lose a friend. He chose to stay in his lifestyle but it would be more fitting to be with his siter. What kind of libe is watching after animals. Why couldn't he friend another guy in the bar. You can't force friendship on another
Would’ve rather had spent the hours across the street at the pub to be honest. Love the acting full stop, also the historical metaphor. Full disclosure was required to wear a mask and felt mildly suffocated in a middle seat. Definitely shout out to bits of this film, a tech company would be smart to acquire limited distribution rights and disseminate a shock and awe and laugh advertising campaign. Stunning craft, but could not hang for want to get the fuck out of the motherfecking theater.
I just watch this movie I really like it, but I would not call it a comedy. I was crying maybe because live near a place like this where everyone knows everyone, I get it but I did not laugh even once
All Colin dod as mope around. He pushed and pushed the other guy so bad that the guy cut off fingers to get him to stop begging for his friendship back. It seemed like a childhood story. Yes the acting was good but the story seemed unrealistic. To burn down his home was awful and unrealistic. I hated the film.
This year they have to compete with Everything everywhere all at once, Spielberg's the fabelmans, armageddon time and maybe pearl so I don't know if Martin might get it this year unfortunately.
@@manantial773 for best original Screenplay??? How do you know that FOR SURE??? Those films are playing at some festivals so critics and potential Oscar voters can see it. Scorcese praised pearl recently! Movies like Bardo, Blonde, white noise and armageddon time have got mixed to scathing reviews so they are probably completely shut out! I don't think pearl and armageddon time will get much nominations bit looking at the reviews, at least at this moment, there might be some space for them in best original Screenplay at least. Glass Onion is technically an original script penned by the director but because it's a sequel or "2nd installment of the Knoves out franchise" it might go into the adapted Screenplay category where Women Talking is the frontrunner right now. Noone thought Everything everywhere all at once HAD ANY CHANCES OF AN OSCAR NOMINATION UNTIL it become AN ACTUAL BOX OFFICE HIT AND CRITICS AND AUDIENCES ALIKE WERE STILL RAVING ABOUT IT MONTHS AFTER!!!
What’s interesting too is you could make an argument for either of them. They’ve both been acting since the 90s and have never gotten this kind of recognition
@@gallowglass2630 I believe a lot of the symbolism relates to the civil war.. Also the humour is so very, very Irish and therefore VERY relatable to us. They've done a great thing by making it so understood and (mostly) liked by the world. The guys kept saying "town" too.. I believe its set on an island, therefore trapped together. It was filmed on Inis Mor (the largest of the Aran Islands and Achill) the island itself plays a character i think.
@@damotheman4196 Yes but banshees are an irish mythological beings who warn of a death in the family.Not knowing the folklore isn't completely necessary but i imagine it greatly helps
I wonder why you didn't mention Colin Farrell's and Brendan Gleeson's dazzling performances in IN BRUGES as at least one of their best performances. I guess you need to see that masterpiece at least once again. I don't know why, and excuse me if I'm wrong, but I somehow guess that you two probably haven't watched that gorgeous film yet, or you don't take it seriously as much as me and many others. In Bruges is a beautiful, thought-provoking, and masterfully executed masterpiece with a brilliant screenplay, three powerhouse performances from Brendan Gleeson, Colin Farrell and Ralph Fiennes, and a wonderful score by Carter Burwell. I strongly believe that McDonagh was worthy of winning the Oscar for original screenplay that year (he lost to Dustin Lance Black for Milk) and Colin Farrell could at least be nominated for it for the first time. McDonagh was once again worthy of that prize for Three Billboards, but lost to Jordan Peele for Get Out. I can't wait to see The Banshees of Inisherin. I guess I'll love it as much as I love In Bruges and Three Billboards. I hope the Academy voters do justice to Martin McDonagh and Colin Farrell... may they get what they really deserve! Amen! By the way, I'm working on the translation of two books from English to Persian, a book on [the sense of] "justice" in McDonagh's plays and films, and the other one is called: Terrence Malick: Filmmaker and Philosopher by Robert Sinnerbrink. Malick, McDonagh, PTA, Iñárritu and Coen Brothers are my most favorite filmmakers working today. I have a lot of love and admiration for both of you. Your perspectives are genuine, and you both own some authentic approaches towards cinema. Your vast knowledge and profound understanding of films always amazes me. You both are more intelligent than most film critics I know all over the world. Keep up the magnificent work. Cheers, and All the Best! (from Iran, in a rainy morning of another day of the crucial days in the newest season of people's protests and rage against the tyranny of the government). I hope you forgive my talkativeness and my not-so-good (perhaps annoying) English.
@@itsbeyondme5560 really???? I think a few Oscar baity movies look far better than all the Oscar baity stuff of last year. Like this movie they are talking about sounds like a dark comedy with many funny moments in it. Same with the Fabelmans and Armageddon time!
@@nikitamohanan2124 Ummm. I don't know. Most of them are Oscar bait except everyone everything all happen at once and a few moives. This one is one of them ( the banshee) Most of them are Oscar bait and uninteresting. I like the actor race though😁
I’m Irish and a big fan of both leads. I thought this movie was absolutely shite. It was the proverbial “much ado about nothing”. The acting was as you’d expect from the calibre of actors, so no fault there, but you’re watching them doing their craft in such an unbelievable premise. It’ll be hyped, it’ll get Oscar attention and people will enjoy sniffing their own farts as they tell you how funny and moving it was….and then no one will mention this movie again. I didn’t enjoy 3 Billboards, 7 psychopaths, In Burgues, or the Guard and now there’s this latest offering….I clearly have no love for Martin McDonagh, and I’ll be steering well away of any of his future movies. (I’m not here to hate btw, I’m just being honest and very much against the flow of opinion)

This was soooo good and hilarious. Colin Farrell has been amazing in everything for decades now. It's crazy he doesn't have an Oscasr nom yet.
Yeah he was great in The Lobster and Minority Report!
I'm glad he's doing more serious stuff now worthy of his talent and moved on from the action stuff and 'bad boy' image.
Def changing with this one. Oscar nod coming
Oscar nomination is a given. He needs to win it for this movie.
Hilarious? OMG😳🤦♂️
In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths, and 3 Billboards were my favorite films of their respective years.... REALLY excited for this one!
Agreed!

As a Better Call Saul fan, I am super excited to see Kerry Condon's performance.
she was genuinely amazing
and here I thought that was Rebecca ferguson the entire time lol
Never has a film been so sad and so funny
And to think the movie was based on a Souixsie and the Banshees documentary.

Barry Keoghan made it worthwhile
My personal favorite character
Can’t wait for Farrell to hopefully win his first Oscar! Love him
With Bardo and The Son out, I’ve put this one in the top 7 of my best picture predictions.
I liked the part where Pádraic tell Mrs McCormick that his sister hides behind the rocks whenever she sees her coming up the road, that part had me😂😂
I'm such a fan of Carrie Condon since I saw her in better call Saul
Kerry Condon was fab! I identified with her character the most. She made me cry. And that scene with her and barry was soooooooo good
Yall are killing it with these reviews, now just Babylon is left of the top Oscar Contenders

I have a lot of love and admiration for both of you. Your perspectives are genuine, and you both own some authentic approaches towards cinema. Your vast knowledge and profound understanding of films always amazes me. You both are more intelligent than most film critics I know all over the world. Keep up the magnificent work.
Cheers, and All the Best! (from Iran, in a rainy morning of another day of the crucial days in the newest season of people's protests and rage against the tyranny of the government).
I hope you forgive my talkativeness and my not-so-good (perhaps annoying) English.
Hype Hype Hype
Great movie 🍿
Look like alot of good movies but most of them in this Oscar season kinda boring. No offense
Kerry condo has a shot at supporting actress
@@gabrielcastaneda9700 Yeah. She has a shot.
@@itsbeyondme5560 really???? I think a few Oscar baity movies look far better than all the Oscar baity stuff of last year. Like this movie they are talking about sounds like a dark comedy with many funny moments in it. Same with the Fabelmans and Armageddon time!
Maybe you are just a boring person.
@@nikitamohanan2124 Ummm. I don't know. Most of them are Oscar bait except everyone everything all happen at once and a few moives. This one is one of them ( the banshee)
Most of them are Oscar bait and uninteresting. I like the actor race though😁
Both of them are gay friends ?
Stop constantly saying "like" as a fill-word. It's, like... really annoying.
It’s ok - 6.5/10
Ummm🤔
I’m Irish and a big fan of both leads.
I thought this movie was absolutely shite.
It was the proverbial “much ado about nothing”.
The acting was as you’d expect from the calibre of actors, so no fault there, but you’re watching them doing their craft in such an unbelievable premise.
It’ll be hyped, it’ll get Oscar attention and people will enjoy sniffing their own farts as they tell you how funny and moving it was….and then no one will mention this movie again.
I didn’t enjoy 3 Billboards, 7 psychopaths, In Burgues, or the Guard and now there’s this latest offering….I clearly have no love for Martin McDonagh, and I’ll be steering well away of any of his future movies.
(I’m not here to hate btw, I’m just being honest and very much against the flow of opinion)
