The Banshees of Inisherin brims with conflicts vast and intimate, from the ongoing abuse wreaked upon a young townie (Barry Keoghan, reuniting here with his The Killing of a Sacred Deer co-star Farrell) by his policeman father to the sounds of civil war echoing across Galway Bay. As he did with the Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri 2017, McDonagh strikes a balance between allegory and the immediacy of interpersonal drama, keeping us in fits of laughter as we recognise the all-too-human nature of his brilliantly drawn characters.
