Brilliance in Bruges

Rating: 9/10 (15 August 2019)

It's hard to believe that Martin McDonagh hadn't written or directed on the big screen before this title. His brilliant writing allows a dark and complex drama to have comical moments, and it doesn't come across as too busy and is easy to keep up with. Colin Farrell is superb, as is Brendon Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes. Britis-Irish filmaking at it's very best.
