The Banshees of Inisherin reunites odd couple Colin Farrell and Brandan Gleeson for the first time since 2008’s In Bruges and is an early favourite for Oscars glory, judging by the eight Golden Globes nominations and the 99% viewer score on Rotten Tomatoes. The film is once again written and directed by Martin McDonaugh, who did the honours for In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths (also starring Farrell) and the wildly successful Three Billboards Over Epping Missouri. The film, which charts efforts to rescue a lifelong friendship between the two protagonists, only launched in UK cinemas on October 21 and now it’s already available to stream in the home as part of a monthly subscription. Here’s how to watch The Banshees of Inisherin online from the comfort of your home (with an optional glass of mulled wine).
