David Stratton

The Australian

The Banshees of Inisherin is not just a beautifully written screenplay. This deeply affecting, warmly humorous, beautifully acted and handsomely photographed (by Ben Davis) film is a major work and top of my list for the best film of 2022.

Rated: 5/5

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

As a comedy duo, Farrell and Gleeson are money in the bank, just as they were in McDonagh’s first feature In Bruges. As a pairing of actor and filmmaker, Farrell and McDonagh are no less in sync.

Rated: 3.5/5

Reel Film Reviews

...a low-key and often excessively deliberate endeavor that never quite becomes as engrossing or captivating as one might’ve anticipated...

Rated: 3/4

Calum Cooper

In Their Own League

The comedy is a veil for deep, complex themes that give “The Banshees of Inisherin” humour and pathos. Among these are measured explorations on toxic masculinity, loneliness, and purpose.

Rated: 5/5

Joonatan Itkonen

Toisto.net

It’s a film that merrily embraces fairy tale elements, enveloping us in a grim fable where good and bad are murky concepts at best.

Rated: 5/5

Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/23 Full Review Linda W Fantastic acting, but dark. Once the donkey died, I was upset. Don't like animals being killed off as a plot device.
