Everything was fine yesterday… such simple words, but yet it packs a punch when it's uttered from one friend to another. It sounds funny when I first heard it, but when I think more about it, it's quite poignant, distressing even. And that's how Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin operates from start to finish.

Trailer Spotlight: The Banshees of Inisherin with Brendan Gleeson + Colin Farrell
As Summer is winding down, I'm definitely looking forward to Fall movies! Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell reunite in Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin since In Bruges (2008).

She escapes from her grandmother's home to journey to the sea and free fairy creatures trapped in the modern world. I've been wanting to see this since I saw the trailer exactly …
