Martin McDonagh wrote plays before films. His dialogue is funny until somebody gets hurt. Two London hit men are told to lie low in Bruges after a job goes wrong in In Bruges. In Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, a mother rents three billboards to call out the police chief over her daughter's unsolved murder. The Banshees of Inisherin is about the end of a lifelong friendship on an island off the west coast of Ireland.
