Film review: Gleeson and Farrell are terrific as embattled friends in The Banshees of Inisherin 

There’s excellent support too from Kerry Condon as Pádraic’s sister Siobhan, and Barry Keoghan as the island simpleton Dominic, who is ‘against wars and soap’. 

The Banshees of Inisherin sees Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell reunited for the first time since In Bruges

★★★★☆

No man is an island, and especially when he lives on an island so small that it’s impossible to escape from the stultifying conversation of his best friend.
