Ireland 1923. While civil war rages on the mainland, life on the remote island of Inisherin goes on as usual. But when Colm breaks his friendship with his longtime friend Pádraic out of the blue, the peaceful times are over here too.

What sounds like a cheerful, contemplative film turns out to be a dark tragic comedy. “The Banshees Of Inisherin” is as rough and unforgiving as the Irish rocky coast, and director Martin McDonagh (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”) stages the end of the friendship with bloody consequences.

Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson shine here as unequal brawlers, whose sudden duel can also be read as a subtle parable of war.
