Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland, THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN follows lifelong friends Pádraic and Colm, who find themselves at an impasse when Colm unexpectedly puts an end to their friendship. A stunned Pádraic, aided by his sister Siobhán and troubled young islander Dominic, endeavours to repair the relationship, refusing to take no for an answer. But Pádraic’s repeated efforts only strengthen his former friend’s resolve and when Colm delivers a desperate ultimatum, events swiftly escalate, with shocking consequences.

“DEEPLY AFFECTING, WARMLY HUMOROUS, BEAUTIFULLY ACTED AND HANDSOMELY PHOTOGRAPHED”
– The Australian

“AS A COMEDY DUO, FARRELL AND GLEESON ARE MONEY IN THE BANK”
– The Age

“IT’S VISUALLY STUNNING AND CONSISTENTLY WITTY WHILE BEING UNAFRAID TO ASK SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT LIFE AS IT IS, AND SHOULD BE, LIVED. IT IS PROPER ART.”
– Times (UK)
