I lived on island as well, Key Largo with great bar the Crib the whole island is having a perpetual existential crisis. Nothing will shut them up, not booze or drugs nor violence or death ghosts blubbering endlessly!! I had to leave and took my dog too.
I haven't seen the movie, but a banshee is a spirt who announces the imminent death of a person through her keening wail. The only characters in the movie that could qualify as banshees, without badly misusing the term, are characters who are both aware of -- and inform -- the protagonists of a bad event before the protagonists themselves know of said event. In a trailer, the old woman who tells Padraig that he's no longer friends with Colm before Padraig is aware of it strikes me as a banshee.
The one guy saying he thought it was hilarious was disturbing. The humor in this movie was incidental . It was a wonderful beautiful movie but to say it was hilarious is missing the point
The bald guy has NOT a clue. The guy bottom left repeats himself endlessly. The guy on bottom right is the only credible articulate reviewer. He “gets it.”
Wow. That's the most shallow review of this movie I've seen. I kept watching to see if it would get better but stays on the surface from beginning to end.
@@harryp4981 I'm not a critic. Watch a lot of others. You'll find what I came across. But maybe that's as deep as you can go and this is enough for you. I rarely read this stuff but there were so many layers to this film that I was drawn to see what others were getting. Interviews with the director have been really good.
Great review lads,l don't think Barry Keoghans character should be overlooked. Loved your thoughts on the movie .Hello from Dublin. ☘️👍👌
Mark Roberts Thank you for your comment. I cannot wait to see this film! Best wishes from Virginia (having relocated from New York in September)🙏

Completely over the heads of these reviewers.

I mean... Colin Ferrell was recently The Penguin so... Man's gotta eat! I loved him The Lobster too btw ❤️ Anywhere he is 'normal man' basically

I think this movie has beautiful moments peppered throughout, but my god is it bleak and disturbing.
Your right. This movie isn’t hilarious it’s depressing.
@@elvaz2 it’s a dark comedy. Look it up
@@mgariepy42 Big Lebowski,Pulp Fiction ,Fargo samples of dark comedy. What part of this movie is comedic?
