Logging

Film: Banshees of Inisherin

Better on a 2nd watch. Maybe a tad subtle for the theater going experience...if that makes sense. The best moment in the film is when the character established as an idiot (much dimmer than Colin Farrell) played by Barry Keoghan says "touche" and Colin Farrell is like "what?" Only to have the idiot say, "You know, French..." And the exchange of a look with his sister over his self realization the idiot is smarter than him in some ways...well, it's not exactly Bruce Willis pulling the samurai sword off the wall or the T Rex eating the velociraptor is my point.

So on second watch, to me a very obvious subtextual reading of the film was that none of these characters had children and their despair was in some way rooted in this condition. 

Does anyone think Brenden Gleeson's song will be any good? Me either...
