Littiii’s review published on Letterboxd:
Friendship Goals for REAL
Never thought some pure fecking cinema with fecking beautiful storytelling with fecking powerful performance can make me laugh so fecking much from it's dark fecking humour and it makes me fecking sad at the same time "You will be pure fucked!"
The perfect balance between shock, heartbreaking sadness and comic relief is brilliantly executed by Martin McDonagh. This film keeps me on the edge of my seat and makes me laugh, making me feel the loneliness and love and heartbreak felt by the characters, whether human or animal.
Irish songs play along with attractive views blown by the wind, and soon the reality of just how isolated this island is sets in. In the background you hear the sounds of the civil war raging on the mainland, but in contrast is a life that is so close yet so different.
This film works as it relies on a fecking character-oriented approach, in which progression of emotions of the characters is properly conveyed. With all the exaggerated humor and dark undertone of the film, there is, however, tenderness and warmth at times. The work can be also appreciated due to McDonagh's lines and his interesting takes on life and friendship.
PS : These types of movies are actually worth revisiting because they fecking deserve it fecking much fecking feck
