It’s a movie about friendship in the most cynical sense of the word. Simply brilliant.

Best movie I am never going to watch ever again
Such a great movie. So sad and humorous at the same time. Definitely recommend if you like ‘In Bruges.’
I fucking hate Bruges.
Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn’t, so it doesn’t.
I’m the only one I know who thought it was just okay. McDonough described it as a “fable” which is fitting, and thus I thought it could have been a 20-minute film. The screenwriting felt like he was trying to make In Bruges 2. The back-and-forth banter always seemed to go 2 exchanges too long. And I thought Barry Keoghan’s village idiot character was in poor taste. I know I’m not being very generous here, but these are the things that stood out to me.
This movie is surely an allegory for the period of which it takes place, yes? Following the troubles through the character relationships of the stubborn, the maimed and the child. It’s a beautiful movie that left me with deep impressions about the world and humanity.
The irisih civil war allegory is quite on the nose and the sudden buildup of conflict and alienation fits quite well.
Some absolutely bleak shit, everyone in my family hates it for just how batshit insane the lengths these people go to are over being stubborn bastards.
I don’t hate the movie, but I am with your family. I didn’t find it that hilarious, more incredibly bleak and tragic. Beautiful movie, though.
