Review of The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) by Anthony Lane for The New Yorker — 17 Oct 2022
What animates The Banshees of Inisherin and saves it from stiffness is the clout of the performances. Within the oxlike Colm, thanks to Gleeson, we glimpse a ruminative despair, and Farrell adds Pádraic to his gallery of heroes so hapless that they forfeit all claim to the heroic.
The movie, however, belongs to Condon.
