Martin McDonagh returns to direct the dynamic pairing of Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson by returning to the UK with The Banshees of Inisherin, his newest film set in Ireland. McDonagh and the film are major awards contenders this year, so we review the film from its simple concept to larger thematic metaphors about the meaning of life. From there, we cover awards season updates on AFI Festival Reactions and release our first predictions for three Oscar’s categories: Best Animated Feature, Best International Feature, and Best Documentary before reviewing a few new trailer releases.
