Saw the film yesterday, I’m a 27 yr old guy living in a city in Canada. I walked in to the theater thinking there will be nothing in the film that I could relate to, I mean a remote Irish island in 1925. But boy I found a little bit of myself in all the characters, like they were holding up a mirror to my face. Kind of a movie that grows on you slowly.

I hope Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson make more movies together.

Nobody should overlook Barry Keoghan's performance also.

In Bruges is one of my favourite movies. I'm excited to see Colin and Brendan acting together again.

Love when Colin gets his Irish accent fully back.❤️ Sometimes when he gets around americans it gets toned down. This is just a lovely melody in my ear

[berniecoderre]

Colin Farrell delivers a performance for the ages! Brilliant! The rest of the cast creates a world that is difficult to leave! A wonderful movie, and a 15 minute standing ovation seems quite short!🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

love it when men declare platonic love for their friends, especially another male

This is my favorite movie of 2022.
I'm a 40 year old from Alabama.
The saddens and loss I've experienced the last 2 years made this movie so relatable.
As a nurse with a dark sense of humor it was perfect too.

For a small country, it is amazing the Irish have produced so many creative people ---Joyce, Yeats, Wilde, Beckett, etc

[wendylee]

"Give us a hug!" They are adorable! 💖

So excited to see these two finally become Oscar nominees next year. It’s overdue 🥰

The Irish always had a way with words. The way they structure their sentences. They don't use hard words, but just simple, everyday words but end up saying something something profound. I noticed it in every interview I saw of Colin Farrell and I notice it with Brendon Gleeson here.

[gentleeyes]

They both sound more Irish together than when they are interviewed separately. Love these guys.

[nigeh]

I’m surprised no one has ever written a script with these two and Pierce Brosnan as brothers. All are fine Irish actors who I feel would work v well together.

I have driven past Brendan Gleeson in Country Clare in Ireland near Kinvara village. He was walking along the road with I believe his wife, holding a fiddle in one hand which he sometimes plays in pubs. I saluted him and he saluted me back. I knew it was him straight away.

[ivanvillamil]

I like Collin Farrell he has a child with the same condition my daughter have Angelman Syndrome. He has been so supportive to the research of the genetic disorder. He’s a great a great actor.

[laalaastl]

I could listen to these two talk all day. Not (just) because they're interesting, but because their Irish accents are just so mellifluous. Maybe I'll just wait for the audiobook version of the movie. 🍀

[susanwright]

Such a complex, at times quirky and ultimately painful movie about how hurting people hurt people. The island scenery is beautiful, just as well really as it's a brutal movie and the acting is sublime

[brendajefferys]

When Irish eyes are smiling!! This interview is a joy to watch! A beautiful bromance!! Even the scenes in the movie when they aren't speaking are moving. Awards season here they come!!

[maggie]

Seeing them together instantly made me think of In Bruges. I love that movie.
