The Oirishness grated a bit but I had to forgive it for the quality of the performances, cinematography and storytelling. Colin Farrell deserves every award going as nice guy Paraic whose best friend Colm played by Brendan Gleeson decides he doesn't want to talk to him anymore. Thr story is set on a small island and strong support comes from Kerry Condon as his sister and Barry Keoghan as the local idiot. Gary Lydon shines too as a nasty policeman. I laughed out loud in the first hour and as the mood darkened I continued to sympathise with Farrells good hearted character.

It's a movie that will divide opinion. Gory in places and certainly not everyone at my showing liked it but I loved it. Martin McDonagh and his crazy mind has done it again making cinema to enjoy AND talk about.
