Dominic is the most tragic character in an island of pure, untempered tragedy.
The Big Picture Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin is, by far, one of the most heartfelt movies of the past few years. Whether you consider it a comedy or believe it to be a tragedy through and through, there's no denying that every single scene in The Banshees of Inisherin is ridden with emotional sincerity and the purest, most intimate form of pain.
Barry Keoghan's Dominic Is the Key to Understanding Colm and Pádraic's Falling Out At first glance, young Dominic looks almost like an afterthought in the story about the end of a friendship between two older men, the despair-stricken Colm and the gentle, happy-go-lucky Pádraic .
Dominic's Demise Represents the Death of Innocence in 'The Banshees of Inisherin' Dominic is a kind of recurrent character in small-town fiction: he's the village idiot. However, The Banshees of Inisherin is a movie way too sensitive to simply point at the village idiot and laugh. Instead, McDonagh understands the tragedy of the Dominics of the world.
Dominic and Siobhán Are Mirrors for Pádraic and Colm And, once again, we are led to draw parallels between Dominic and Pádraic. The Banshees of Inisherin constantly calls attention to the similarities between Colm and Siobhán, too deep-in-thought souls trapped in a world too small for them. It is implied that should Siobhán stay behind in Inisherin, she would one day become just as bitter as Colm.
