IN Banshees of Inisherinlifelong friends Colm Doherty (Brendan Gleeson) and Pádraic Súilleabháin (Colin Farrell) stand still in their relationship.
When Colm decides to break their long-term friendship out of the blue, Pádraic is left speechless. Pádraic goes out of his way to rekindle his friendship with his old drinking buddy.
However, his attempts only strengthen Colm's original resolve, pushing him further away from the friendship they once had. The film shows the madness that comes with losing a friend, something most of us have experienced at some point in our lives.
