You can stream The Banshees of Inisherin with an HBO Max subscription.

What is The Banshees of Inisherin about?
Written and directed by playwright Martin McDonagh, The Banshees of Inisherin is, at its core, the story of a dissolving friendship. Pádraic Súilleabháin (Colin Farrell) is cast adrift when his best friend, Colm Doherty (Brendan Gleeson) informs him that he no longer wishes to spend time with him. The ensuing feud plays out over the course of several days, on the fictional Irish island of Inisherin.
The Banshees of Inisherin is McDonagh's fifth turn as a film writer/director, and reunites Farrell and Gleeson for the first time since 2008's In Bruges. Critical response to the film has been uniformly positive; USA Today's Brian Truitt called it a "dazzling dark comedy" and noted that Farrell gives "one of his nuanced performances."
