Review of The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) by Rockytopthad — 02 Mar 2023
Why, oh why, do movie critics have such a fetish for ridiculous, emotionally manipulative films? Is it Artistic? I guess. If the definition of art includes a requirement for shocking plot twists and/or an achingly sad script.
“Oooooo…I didn’t see THAT coming” the smug movie critic mutters to the stranger sitting next to him. “So dark! So fancy! Definitely 5 stars!” And, yes, I get the symbolism, the civil war, the foreshadowing bc I remember it from high school English class, in which, by the way, a 15 year old student would get an “A” but with the comment, “you clearly poured your heart into this short story.
You’re on your way to becoming a great writer. Realize, however, that you don’t have to include every literary device in each story. Pace yourself.
