I thought the movie had a lot of funny moments, but I do recall laughing the most in the theater as well, so maybe the dark humor portions resonated with me more, but I thought the funny parts were very funny, especially in the context of the rest of it.

Now, I will agree the movie is VERY sad, but I will strongly disagree that it is nihilistic. It is about legacy, and loneliness, and friendship, and finding your place in the world. Whether you find the overall message of the movie hopeful or hopeless, that's on you, but none of it is meaningless. It is tragic, but not pointless.

I really, really liked the movie, but it is sad, and it does reflect on the fact that death comes for everything.

I know I shouldn't get started but you are the only person on this ENTIRE board I am 100% certain is retarded. Ossoi, your posts are 25% trying to convince us how hot and fuckable you are, 25% stating some kind of stupid and wrong opinion, 40% arguing with people who respond to your stupid and wrong opinions, and 10% trying to convince us you only fucked a dog that one time. I'm so annoyed that asshat of the year left you, because you deserve it in perpetuity.

Saw the movie last week in theaters with a coworker on a work trip, I liked it but she just looked at me like "What the fuck was that?" while shaking her head in the end. Pretty sure that's going to be a good portion of peoples opinion. I saw that this is now on HBO streaming now as well, so easy enough for anyone to watch. Definitely not any kind of top movie for me, but if you are in the mood for a slower paced tale with some dark humor in it, worth a watch. If nothing else it will make you want to go to Inis Mor, amazing looking place.

This is a great movie but it's depressing as shit. It really was top 3 for 2022. Maverick is easily the best and then this but they're two completely different films. Oscar season is going to be weird but this might be the main film to kickass

I was expecting a Dark Comedy but fuck me I just feel sadder after having watched this.

I thought this was really well acted, but I was hoping for more of an "In Bruges" style comedy, especially with Gleeson and Farrell involved. Instead, it's just a depressing tale about "meaning" in life. Well acted and still probably one of 2022's best considering the dogshit that came out last year, but it wasn't my favorite.

Ok was this movie based on the war or that's what it's based around? from what I watched After a second viewing Gleeson comes off greedy and just wanting to be a legend, he wanted to cut off his fingers all along so he could be remembered.

I'll need to watch again but he mentions nice friends aren't remembered but artist are, he was still playing music after his hand was gone. It's not until his ego hurt his friend he realized he fucked up

Gleeson was trying to be a knockoff Beethoven in a way, the second he loses his hand he is doing new music with his other hand easily. He never thought he would hurt his friend? And that's why he felt so much guilt, Collin realize Gleeson was an ass
