Review of The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) by Ancientamber — 21 Oct 2022

First half is a 10, second half is like an 8. Some great humor, especially in the first half. Beautiful shot choices, perfect performances and writing. There's a deeply melancholic streak to the film, more pronounced tha In Bruges, but the film feels more mature and weightier for that.

I found the pacing of the second half a little slow, and the darkness was relatively unleavened by humor. I thought it might not stick the landing, but ultimately the ending was well-judged.
