I liked The Banshees of Inisherin very much. I think director Martin McDonagh did a good job, the story is interesting, and the cast gave excellent performances. After I saw it I found up a copy of In Bruges and saw it again. I am curious but not in a hurry to see Everything Everywhere All At Once ;...
