The Banshees of Inisherin is a magnificent film telling a great, compelling story.
Writer-director Martin McDonagh’s soulful masterpiece offers a a windswept elegy on a camaraderie that has reached its inexplicable expiration, as well as melancholic rumination on mortality.

As an episode of a very successful comedy series, this is perfect: anyway this is perfect.
If we have seen three billboards, maybe we can consider cutting off a finger as a cliché, in any case, it was done correctly. Colin Ferrell gives his role 100% development through acting technique, otherwise his chemistry is not compatible with the role. (We see in this film how the technique covers the fit of an actor with the role, which only works in some cases) and one point that we must add that the film intentionally or unintentionally does not take into account:
Person A: I don't care what you say
Person B: I don't care what you are
Person A: Then why are you talking to me?
Person B: Because my heart is burning to you
Because I pity you, it is not taken into account or its role is diminished. In any case, because it is performed correctly, I consider it a perfect movie.
And one of the most interesting things about this film is that an Irish filmmaker with typical democratic ideas in his film (perhaps more than usual) about how a few people are fighting each other and does it in a way that For example and for example, if I, who live in a communist society, see it, I can look at it as an outcome current.(and in an indirect way, the second best film against music).5/5

The Banshees of Inisherin é um excelente filme, quase chorei em determinado momento.

The Irish have struggled to find peace on a road historically paved with war. The little village in The Banshees of Inisherin seems a microcosm of the complexity of maintaining that peace, even among ostensible friends.
Like In Bruges, The Banshees of Inisherin is a dark movie that is often downright hilarious.
Without his trademark vulgarity and narrative absurdity, McDonagh’s challenged himself to draw humor and meaning from the mundane. And he does.
McDonagh’s latest is a worthy In Bruges reunion: smart, funny, deeply felt.
It's visually stunning, well written and the acting is top-notch. But without context, the plot falls flat, leaving behind an unsettling and bizarre film.
[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Good performances and cinematography. Nice rugged Irish scenery, but otherwise a rather bizarre and somewhat morbid picture.

I take this opportunity to explain the matter (perhaps) once and for all. Nietzsche's anthropology is dualistic by contrasting the active nihilists to the passive ones: while the former accept the status quo for "amor fati", the latter fail to adapt to it as they do not possess a disposition that allows them to accept survivalism with its degenerative process until the extinction. Alternative dichotomies such as floats vs. drowned, integrated vs. apocalyptics, settled vs. marginalized, conformists vs. eccentrics are more imprecise. So far, humanity has shown that it falls within such a binary category, idem the entire planetary culture. Twentieth-century existentialism was a mass phenomenon that disappeared in the second half of the period. Earlier we find the Greek epic poems from Homer to Hesiod, the pre-Socratic philosophy, the Athenian tragedy that reached the point of no return with Sophocles' "Oedipus at Colonus" in 401. In the Jewish sphere, the further root of Western thought, we find the defeatism of Qohèlet. The problem lies in the fact that they have only ever known how to complain or protest, never suggesting anything constructive. The active nihilists are instead Epicureans, Horatians, Juvenalesques, cantors of the "carpe diem". Even art and therefore cinema can be traced back to the two Nietzschean typologies, and individual authors or single works can even oscillate unsteadily between one pole and another. "Tertium datur"? In effect, yes. In 524, the year before he was killed, Boethius exposes in the "De consolatione philosophiae" a dilemma that will find a more rigorous formula with Leibniz in the "Essais de Théodicée", written in 1705 and published in 1710: "Si Deus est, unde malum? Si non est, unde bonum?". For atheists, materialists and immanentists the opportunity opened up to analyze the second horn of the dilemma. How many took advantage of it? How many finally began to provide a proposal? To my knowledge, only one thinker: Ernst Bloch, starting with his main book released in '59. That is, our debut attempt beyond active and passive nihilisms dates back to only a few decades ago. Shocking and devastating. With this, even McDonagh cannot but refer to the "despair of Kierkegaard" (Federico Pontiggia), to the "funereal twilight of Beckett" (Enrico Azzano), "not for nothing Samuel Beckett is Dubliner and certainly one of the strongest referents, [...] very skilled weaver of plots and dialogues mixed in the absurd" (Emanuela Martini), "it looks like a comedy of the absurd in costume written by Beckett" (Carlo Valeri). And why not even 1938 Sartre's "La Nausée"? Stop with this rearguard, after decades and millennia I demand from culture something that at least [re]starts from Bloch.

It's probably a good movie for Irish people, as they can relate to the characters and the way they express/speak, as well as their attitudes and general way of behaving. Unfortunately, from the point of view of an average Brazilian, it's downright boring.
