Banshees of Inisherin, The

[Opens Nov. 4 in theaters.] Breathtaking scenery and cinematography dominates Martin McDonagh's engaging, award-winning, unique, poignant, well-written, superbly acted, wit-dotted, thought-provoking, 109-minute film in which a music-composing violinist (Brendan Gleeson) living on an island off the west coast of Ireland in 1923 suddenly tells his donkey-loving longtime best friend (Colin Farrell), who lives with his beautiful, unsettled sister (Kerry Condon) as she ignores the flirtations of a smitten, troubled Irishman (Barry Keoghan), that he wants to cancel their friendship because he doesn't like him anymore, finds him boring, and threatens to chop off one of his fingers at a time if his bewildered, upset friend even speaks to him; heavy accent made dialogue difficult to understand.
