About the film

Everything was fine yesterday.

What it’s about

On the island of Inisherin in 1923, Pádraic Súilleabháin is a friendly farmer whose daily routine includes calling on his best friend, Colm Doherty, to walk to the pub. One day Colm refuses to speak to him, and when pressed, he says Pádraic is too dull and threatens to cut off one of his own fingers if Pádraic keeps bothering him. Pádraic's sister Siobhán and the young Dominic Kearney are caught in the fallout as the two men's standoff escalates.

What hooks you

Martin McDonagh wrote and directed this film, which won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Screenplay, and the BAFTA for Best British Film and Best Original Screenplay. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson play the estranged friends, and Kerry Condon won the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress as Siobhán. The screenplay is based on a play by McDonagh, and the pub set was built on Achill Island without permission and had to be demolished after filming.

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who like character-driven drama with a streak of black comedy, set in a small community where personal grievances take on outsized importance. It will suit viewers who appreciate sharp dialogue and the tension of a friendship turned sour.

Trivia

All facts 7
  1. The film's screenplay is based on a play by Martin McDonagh. It was written as the final part of a trilogy that also included plays from 1996 and 2001.
  2. The banshee in Irish folklore, or among the inhabitants of the Scottish Highlands, is a type of fairy—a harbinger of death.
  3. A pub was built specifically for the filming on Achill Island near the west coast of Ireland in County Mayo. The filmmakers did not have permission for this, so the building had to be demolished after filming was completed.
  4. All the sweaters of the main characters were hand-knitted by one old man. In addition, he knitted each sweater in two copies.
  5. Brendan Gleeson actually plays the violin very well, and he plays it himself in the film.
  6. During filming, Colin Farrell had several unpleasant moments with animals. He was kicked by the donkey Jenny when he was feeding her from his hand. He was bitten by the dog that played the dog of the character played by Brendan Gleeson. And finally, the horse harnessed to the cart carrying the character played by Colin Farrell almost tipped him into the water.
