What is he, twelve? Why doesn't he want to be friends with you no more? 1923. As shots ring out from the warring mainland, on the island of Inisherin it's the rift between old drinking pals Pádraic and Colm that leads both men to ever more alarming action.
Review Quotes
"Simply perfect . . . a bleakly funny yet often unutterably poignant drama that consistently recalls the best of Beckett. . . . It is proper art. " ― The Times
"Slippery, complex . . . murkily magnificent . . . shoulder-shudderingly funny." ― Daily Telegraph
"The ornately verbal, gruffly poetic and violently hilarious vernacular of McDonagh's best writing . . . [This] quietly magnificent film is mythic in its rage and resonance . . . caustically, hauntingly and sometimes raucously sad." ― Variety
