This week Wild Horse Nine, the latest from Martin McDonagh, is in theaters. To celebrate its release, this week’s binge focuses on four previous features from McDonagh. Films appear in chronological order.

In Bruges (2008)
About: This was his first feature and for many, myself included, it’s still a personal favorite. Colin Farrell is dynamic in the lead role. It’s a drama with comedy and a fun ride.

Seven Psychopaths (2012)
About: A great follow up with a great cast. This one didn’t hit well with many audiences. I see some of the issues, but it didn’t really have the same problems for me. I think it gets more hate than it deserves, though it’s still the weakest of McDonagh’s features.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri (2017)
About: A Best Picture nominee with some great performances. I think this is probably McDonagh’s best film, even if it isn’t a favorite for some. This is still a compelling film.

The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)
About: This one finds Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as a couple old friends who fall out. Some loved this more than me. I appreciate the writing and the craft. And I think there are some great performances. But it’s a bit of a bummer at times.
