Why these scenes from five best picture nominees didn’t make the cut

LA Times  

Among those who told The Envelope about the scenes they had to cut are: Top row, Matt Villa, Jonathan Redmond; Mikkel E.G. “When a movie finds its running length and you see the shape of what it should be, it extrudes things it doesn’t need,” says Tony Kushner, who co-wrote “The Fabelmans” with director Steven Spielberg. “Often a scene is …

Martin McDonagh loves his stars: ‘I don’t want anyone else to get their hands on them’

LA Times  

Writer-director Martin McDonagh took a few passes at “The Banshees of Inisherin” before landing on the right focus. Several years ago, Martin McDonagh started work on a play called “The Banshees of Inisheer.” He didn’t care much for it, but he liked the title, with its echoes of his plays “The Cripple of Inishmaan” and “The Lieutenant of Inishmore.” A …

The Banshees of Inisherin: Does Martin McDonagh actually understand Ireland?

Slate  

The very first thing we see, in the opening seconds of The Banshees of Inisherin, is clouds. McDonagh’s early plays are clearly the work of an “Irish writer,” but it’s an Irishness formed as much by distance as intimacy.

The Banshees Of Inisherin: An ode to broken friendships and a takedown of nice guy syndrome

Firstpost  

The Banshees Of Inisherin laments Pádraic and Colm’s broken friendship but also celebrates it by showing just how toxic it was in the first place. Of course, on a deeper level, Pádraic and Colm’s friendship is a metaphor for the Irish Civil War of 1923 where both sides, in an effort to drive home a point, end up destroying themselves. …

Live Mint  

As the sun sets, one bird hops in the direction of another, which edges away. Although Pádraic is like a jilted lover who won’t quit, it’s Colm who threatens self-harm, saying he'll cut his own fingers off if he isn't left alone. No one’s right in the head here, from the relentless Pádraic and the clearly depressed Colm to young …

The Banshees of Inisherin reunites Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson in darkly comic allegory for Irish Civil War

ABC  

Martin McDonagh first paired Colin Farrell with Brendan Gleeson in his debut feature film, 2008's brutal black comedy In Bruges, casting them as a pair of hit men dispatched to the picturesque Belgian city. The gruff, odd-couple intimacy they affected in that film – Gleeson's practised killer ministering to Farrell's first-timer, rattled by a botched job – underlies McDonagh's latest …

Before he’d ever even met writer and director Martin McDonagh, Barry Keoghan had a photo of him as the background image on his phone. “I was like, ‘Put the picture on your phone and manifest it,’” Keoghan recalls, speaking at the Ham Yard Hotel in London. I remember one of my friends was like, ‘Why do you have a picture …

“I think about the sadness of things more than the happiness. I’m always envious of people who laugh at everything, smiling all the time,” says Kerry Condon, who stars in “The Banshees of Inisherin.” Growing up in County Tipperary, Ireland, Kerry Condon spent so much time planning her escape that her father gave her the nickname “Fledgy-poo.” “Like a fledgling …

LA Times  

It’s hardly an original insight to note that “The Banshees of Inisherin,” Martin McDonagh’s caustic and mournful new movie, is also his latest work to give its location top billing. That much is clear from his farther-flung plays, like “A Behanding in Spokane,” and also from his movies such as “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” and “In Bruges.” That 2008 …

LA Times  

On the surface, Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell have little in common beyond their Irish heritage. But appearances, of course, can be deceiving — and when Farrell and Gleeson shared the screen as a pair of hit men in Martin McDonagh’s 2008 black comedy, “In Bruges,” something clicked. Colin Farrell, in window, and Brendan Gleeson in “The Banshees of Inisherin.” …
