8/10
Humor and drama in the right measure
16 February 2023
"Inisherin's Banshees" is a peculiar dramatic comedy, with a touch of English humor and taking place on the Irish coast of the 1920s. His cinematographic style, a mixture of the Coen brothers and Yorgos Lanthimos. The film is well directed, with bluish photography and a soundtrack that guides the feelings on screen, it gives a certain warmth to the cold composition of the scenery, the script is "strange", we have a weak beginning that begins to deepen in several layers and expose some feelings, mainly loneliness, depression and purpose, but this is diluted in its third act, transforming what we saw into a dispute of egos, could this be a criticism of how shallow human beings are? You can, but I don't buy that idea so well. Artistically, what attracts me the most is not its beautiful centered direction or the beautiful long open plans, but the performances, all the actors are impeccable, with emphasis on Kerry Condon, Brendan Gleeson and Brendan Gleeson. "Inisherin's Banshees" received extremely strong favorable and unfavorable reviews, I don't agree with either side, its melancholy and exaggerated humor attracts me, and combining this with beautiful performances, good direction and an irreproachable authorial touch by the director, they form a set of factors that make me like the film, despite its slow pace. Note 8/10.
