Now, far be it from me to find fault with the Banshees of Inisherin, for as ye all know by now, in my eyes it is the finest Irish film of all time.

Aside, that is, from The Field... Which is, of course, an Irish film of such quality and such monumental standing, that it cannot be quantified or measured up against anything ever produced by mere mortal man.
