  • The Banshees Of Inisherin (2022)
    Review preview for The Banshees Of Inisherin

    Banshees is lifted by good performances, particularly from Keoghan and Condon, whose major scene together has a delicacy of emotion that is sharply at odds with the brute force McDonagh more generally employs.

  • Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)
    Review preview for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
