Movie #2153 "Banshees of Inisherin" (HBO) I have a reputation among friends and family to be able to pick out the worst new year's eve movies, and well, this one would go on that list, for sure. I think the first one I ever showed was a movie that ended on a lobotomy, and another was "Godfather 3" (which had several shootings, esp. one at the very end) so the list is rather long and memorable. I was blindsided by this one because it had a funny trailer, for sure, so I thought it would be an okay suggestion for us to watch while bringing in the new year --- And the opening and 30 minus or so in, it was quirky, funny and a creative idea to wind a story around, but then...........it took a drastic turn, and the rest is history. I'd give this a very weak 3 ---- just because the two actors are so darn good, but wasted on too strange of a film. And this one has several Golden Globe nominations. If this is a representation of the "best" in film this year, we are in for some dark awards ceremonies in our future.
