I loved this movie in all of it's bleakness and subtle humor. I even got my wife to watch it and she liked it. As we are separated from the Irish by a common language, she had to turn subtitles on. I understood more dialogue in this than I did Belfast. For whatever reason, I have only seen bits and pieces of In Bruges, so I want to see the entire movie.
If you liked this then Bruges will blow you away.

I thought it was fantastic. Brutally sad. Didn't fall apart in the 3rd act so much as it represented a means to an end. But likely only a temporary end as they alluded to the Irish Civil War going on at the same time.

Extremely well acted. Colin Farrell has to be one of the most underrated actors of this generation. I know he's held in high regard but I really think he's up there with the absolute best of the best.

I used to think Collin Ferrel was a generic actor. Then I paid attention. No way you can watch The Lobster, Killing of a Sacred Deer, In Bruges, and The Gentlemen and consider him average. He's the sleeper of our generation. Will tune in to anything he is associated with here on out.

Made it through the entire new Batman movie without realizing he was the Penguin until I saw the credits and did a double take.

Watched it tonight. My feelings echo a lot of others in this thread...wonderfully acted, hilarious at times, but man was that ending bleak.

So glad for Kerry Condon! I feel like she got lost in the mix this awards season amongst the three males in the cast. She was fantastic.

Wow, I had no idea he's gone through so much in his life. I'll be rooting for him for years to come.

Fantastic acting. Beautiful scenery. For me the story ended up being disturbing.

The acting must have been great. I, too, was bored of their company and trapped on a tiny island by the end of it all.

Loved the movie. Acting was superb. The dark ending worked for me, but then my mom is from Ireland and I've been there loads so it just worked. I really hope it takes home a bunch of the awards.

Man, I thought that was superb. Really interesting character study, with terrific performances by all the actors. Even though not a lot happens, it held my attention the entire time.

Very solid movie. Great acting across the board, even the ones with small parts.

The way the donkey went was interesting. Not sure about that one.

This was a great example of ensemble acting. Character driven, nuanced performances from everyone. Loved the way the hook reappeared in the end. And I think the civil war storyline works.

Great movie, ending was fine.

Young kid was great in Killing Of a Sacred Deer as well.
