Now a fan of Eigil Bryld. And Thekla Reuten (she was in Restless). But Brendan Gleeson is just fabulous. So are Colin Farrel and Ralph Fiennes (especially when Gleeson calls his children 'cunts').
Dark, sweet and hilarious. The McDonaghs have a way with searing lines, e.g. Fiennes: "An Ouzi? I'm not from South Central fucking Los Angeles. I didn't come here to shoot twenty black ten year olds in a fucking drive by."
It's an absolute joy of a screenplay. Jon Gregory's editing also great. Again, scored by Carter Burwell, with the poignancy of a seventies horror film score.
