Banshees of Inisherin plays with the beliefs that others have of the Irish--especially the small island people. Everyone know what others think or say; they anger more than they're happy--and will take wild action to prove a point.

I had a mean Irish grandmother and her clan to put up with and they were the worst. My Irish aunt told me about the Banshees and other myths when we were young and it scared me.

I loved the movie! They captured the older Irish in a funny way.

Someone pointed out to me that Father Karis makes the ultimate sacrifice, quite comparable to Jesus on the cross. He asks the Devil to abandon Regan and take his soul, which could mean that he remains with the Devil but sets the innocent girl free.

I've heard it called the "ultimate love story" of mankind for this.
