‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ Golden Globe wins leaves some in Ireland questioning its quality

It was a banner year for Irish cinema at the Golden Globes last night. The Banshees of Inisherin took home awards for Best Director, Best Comedy, and Best Actor — the latest in a string of award season wins. You’d think an award-winning movie written by an Irishman, starring an entirely Irish cast, and filmed in Ireland, would be a particular point of national pride. But no culture is a monolith and some citizens of the Republic are questioning whether the movie is all that it’s cracked up to be after all.

the banshees of innisheeran ,watched it last night, can’t understand the hype around it, beautifully shot scenery,acting was brilliant ,but script was a bit ridiculous, heard on radio won golden globe last night,am I alone in thinking this or did anyone else think it was the usual Irish gobshittery from ireland

In a post on the Reddit r/Ireland page, a user questions whether or not the award-winning script deserves all the fuss. Despite praising the film’s look and the acting of the cast they categorize the screenplay as “the usual Irish gob****tery.” Not exactly an Irish blessing.
