The Banshees of Inisherin is a darkly funny drama set on a windswept Irish island in 1923, during the Civil War. Two lifelong friends, Padraic and Colm, abruptly fall out when Colm declares he will end their friendship. Padraic's attempts to repair the rift clash with Colm's aloof, fatal honesty, drawing in a quirky island cast. Witty, sorrowful, and meticulously crafted, the film marries sharp dialogue with striking landscapes and quiet heartbreak. It hinges on themes of friendship, pride, memory, and the cost of silence.
