comedy", but the fact is despite an absolutely melancholic atmosphere suffusing this film at times virtually to the point of suffocation, it can Even the members of the community have a relatable and absurd charm to how they present themselves. With Colm distancing himself, Pádraic’s only other friend seems to be Dominic (Barry Keoghan), a young man who can’t stop thinking about sex and how hot he finds Pádraic’s sister, leading him to ask some rather uncomfortable questions. The local pub owner has his quirks of trying to keep his head low, the local police officer is pompously eager for violence, the local priest is highly protective, and the local shopkeep is a gossip hound who can never stop poking her noses in other people’s business. It’s a familiar community with common quirks and harsh critiques on how the simple life isn’t so simple. O'Sullivan, Vic (8 July 2023). "Irish pub owner rebuilds bar from 'Banshees of Inisherin' ".

The Banshees of Inisherin is one of those comedies so blue that you nearly bring yourself to tears as you laugh. Somewhere between somber realization and defensive absurdity, this is a film all about dullness. The boredom of this 1920s Irish island community is a sensation that paints the community with darkly comedic recognition of being unable to handle mundanity. It's darkly comedic but also deeply relatable. Kelly, Clara (22 August 2021). "Barry Keoghan to star in new Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell movie, 'The Banshees of Inisherin' ". JOE.ie.

My heritage is a good bit Irish, so I am often drawn to stories set on this quaint and storied island. The performances were reputed to be a cut above and they were. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson were both so believable in their roles as best mates drowning in the abyss of humdrum lives and petty disagreements. As I watched the pedantic and painfully isolating scenes, I thought to myself....WHAT is this even about? To me, the dialogue seemed strange, and I don't mean because of the accents or colloquialisms. Their conversations were just anathema to me, and I wondered WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY EVEN GOING ON ABOUT?villagers seem to be anti-political and more concerned with day to day living than with any perceived "nationalistic" issues.

Costume designer Eimer Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh discussed the pains she and her team took to make the wardrobe not feel like "a pastiche of the Aran Islands", which included using cloth that was entirely homespun and only using Irish wools, linens, and overdyed fabrics. For Pádraic's red jumper, Mhaoldomhnaigh envisioned what his sister Siobhán would have genuinely been motivated to make for him. "I can imagine Siobhán thinking, 'Oh my God, the winter's going to be very cold. I'm going to knit him a jumper,' then making the little collar as a kind of personal touch... there's a beautiful naiveté to the way he dresses, but it's very tender as well, that idea that she adds this little touch to it. I think it says so much about him and his relationship with Siobhán, and his relationship with where he lives and his Irishness," Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh explained. [32] Finally, I decided that, in the absence of any excitement or volatility in their lives, these fellas had to create some drama just to feel ALIVE. Lost in the tedium of their daily habits and tiny spheres of influence, they seemed to be resorting to desperate measures to create some sort of SOAP OPERA for themselves. I found it bizarre, fascinating, and at times grotesque. More than one extreme action made me wonder....WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? For me, the most relatable character was the one played by Kerry Condon: bright, sharp, willful, strong, and decisive. When she made a bold and adventurous decision, I applauded her courage and thought....YOU GO, GIRL! Watching the characters wallow in depression and loneliness was not always comfortable for me, but it was REAL. How many people on this earth feel the need to drown their sorrows and drink their disappointments away at a local pub day in and day out? You don't have to be Irish or have any Irish heritage to understand that universal pastime. Lee, Maeve (24 January 2023). "Oscars 2023: Record haul for Irish at 95th Academy Awards". Irish Examiner .
