On the other, there's really not much happening as a story vs all the prizes and accolades it got. It was oversold to me - not bad, just weird. Not sure what you get out of it, aside from Irish slang.

An unusual story, but one of hurt and loss at a profound level, at least to the characters. And the conviction of these characters to what they believe is unheard of, with malice toward themselves and each other. All this with a love that remains underneath it. A brutal story lacking common sense.
There's no explaining this without seeing it, I don't think. It'll cost you. It's bizarre. Martin McDonagh is quite the unusual storyteller, with
In Bruges and
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri as a hint of his type of narrative. So I think I'll need to see
Seven Psychopaths to round out the set.
