The Banshees of Inisherin, written and directed masterfully by Martin McDonagh, takes place on the imaginary Irish island of Inisherin where the comedic and tragic story of a friendship takes place concerning two best friends Pádraic Súilleabháin (Colin Farrell) and Colm Doherty (Brendan Gleeson) when the latter of which abruptly decides to end the friendship out of the blue.
