The Banshees of Inisherin - There Goes That Dream 😢 

Might be over analysing, but that brief "don't skip ahead" before he asked her made it appear as if he had already played out the scene (or dream in this case) in his mind and knew the outcome. Incredible writing in any case.

"Well, there goes that dream." This is so painful and yet so beautiful.

Barry Keoghan went into my top 5 fav actors with like 3 performances. This guy is a monster

The script note ‘she shakes her head, as kindly as she can’ is just fantastic writing and the performance to boot. What a movie.

How none of them got an Oscar is beyond me. What a moving and spectacular performance by all of the cast.

This movie was profoundly moving. I was captivated by the entire cast. My sincere thanks to them all for their dedication and hard work to make this film.

That head movement after 'well, there goes that dream'; as if waking up from the dream....incredible touch.

Superb characterization by Barry! The finger-twisting and eye movements express the tortured turmoil he's experiencing. Then, that soulful, " Well, there goes that dream. " Jesus wept.

“Go do that thing over there I was gonna do”. Jeez, I just got that reference. Such a sad arc for this character, but so well done. I think, if there are any victims in this movie, it’s him. That other scene where he says “that’s probably the meanest thing I’ve ever heard” and looks completely devastated about realizing who is friend really is was also really got me.

Heartbreaking scene. I was blown away by the dialogue and the acting..

Wow, now that I've seen this again, it really does feel like he was ready to off himself here, but ran into her and it changed his mind for a moment. Like, realizing that Padraic wasn't as nice as he thought was what initially made him lose all hope. But running into her gave him a spark of hope that he knew was highly unlikely but just wanted to give it one last shot. Unfortunately, he was right, there was never any hope for him. I can't believe I missed it the first time I watched. I genuinely thought the prediction of the old woman of two people dying would be Jenny and Colm. Turns out, it was Dominic.

I can only hope we see more of him so he can show his range. His acting in this movie was incredible.

Never heard of Barry Keoghan before this movie and when I watched this scene it was the most heartbreaking moment in film I had ever watched. I couldn't believe his talent.

Watching this scene in the cinema, I felt like I'd been kicked in the guts, truly winded by the unbearable, subtle emotion of it. Kerry and Barry's acting - so real.

Key Hua Quan deserves the world, but look at this boy, bro gave his best act in this movie, & Banshees of Inisherin didnt get any oscar.

This scene is like..... devastating. Like, when I saw it, I was laughing at first, but then something about how kindly but bluntly she turns him down just breaks my heart

Possibly, one of the greatest movies of the last years. Every character is important.

There’s a lot of praise for Barry in these comments, and rightfully so, but Kerry does her part so naturally and with such subtlety, the slight crack in her voice as she responds with ‘i don’t think so’ - conveys the sorrow so central to this film that we cannot choose who we like to be with

This is just an incredible film. The fantasy of being with her, getting himself to where he can express it and then seeing the futility of it all expressed here is some of the the best acting I've seen in a really long time.

That line was so good it pulled me out of the movie, and I thought to myself that is the best delivered line in the history of cinema.

Barry keoghan is genuinely my favorite actor currently. Just incredibly talented

His character broke my heart. This whole movie was such an experience. I wish I could go back to 2022, to that little theater I went to after a 12 hour day, and see it all over again. I wish movies like this happened more often than every other year, but maybe they wouldn't be so special.

This guy's performance in this movie was something else. I did not expect Brendan Gleeson and Colin Ferrell to be outdone by anyone, and yet... frankly all the actors in this were incredible!

This young actor's performance in this scene is something special.... Powerful and resonant. Talent!

this movie should have win best original screenplay, i love EEAAO, but this script goes to straight to the heart, such a simple story going big and crazy, lovely

This is such a great film. A few years ago I started watching Irish made films and I have found them to be fine, rich, powerful things imbued with passion, tragedy, humor and heart.

It's so weird, how the "There goes that dream" line in the script has an exclamation mark at the end, yet it is just so much more impactful with the way Keoghan says it. Maybe i'm reading into an exclamation mark too much, but it feels like he captures the emotion behind the line better than the script does.

Her reaction shots are minimal but wonderful,she's being kind but hurting him at the same time.

This scene just broke my heart when I saw it.💔 What a talented young actor.

This scene . So beautiful and sad and humerus , heart wrenching . A masterpiece..All in one scene . Lost count of how many times I’ve watched this . Barry Keoghan…….bravo young man .

should've won best picture and screenplay imo. It's so beautifully sober and poetic.

This guys blow up is not at all shocking after seeing this movie. I’d never seen him before and when seeing this movie in theaters I was completely blown away. His performance in this was outstanding 💔

This performance rips out my heart every time. Agonizingly perfect.

The ripping of the heart portrayed perfectly

The most heartbreaking part of the film... hopelessly devoted... I've already cried here inconsolably because you immediately know where he's going...❤

This story had so many emotions. This was a lovely written scene.

As an Irish Islander- this guy’s performance is easily the best portrayal -with his candid emotional sincerity showing through a common Irish demeanour that we call ‘skeety’ where I live.. And though it would refer to sketchy folk - and despite his off-putting quality that is likely a representation of autism when it wasn’t identifiable.. there are many people I know who fit the categorization who are as kind hearted, and witty as his character. Kinda like how Mickey in Snatch turns out to be the cleverest - that kind of guy. Irish slang and prononciation can make the smartest people sound less intellectual also imo tbh. Irish ‘street smarts’ and eccentricities always shine brightly. The one who appears to be s burnt out Irishman or Newfie can give you the best advice ever, be the best friend you have- common it is for sure. Also I wonder how it sounds to non-Irish people who are unaware ‘never’ and ‘ever’ mean the same thing.

what great acting, so much was said in those few sentences, his whole life laid bare for her, Hollywood wouldn't understand anything that just happened between them, truly great writing and interpretation of the screenplay,

What an actor

Barry Keogh just makes your heart bleed in this. His talent paired with Martin McDonagh's writing means it's a winner.

she shakes her head as kindly as she can

She shakes her head as kindly as she can. EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!

Wow hard lines to pull off without sounding a bit goofy but he did.

Wonderfully crafted character writing and amazing acting to match its splendor. Magnificent!

Barry Keoghan is the new Sam Rockwell. Just a complete chameleon of an actor. So versatile.

This dude is in like half the movies I watch, and I adore it. Keep em coming, Barry. You’re a genius

Isolating the scene like this makes me REALLY appreciate the dialogue and the performances. So beautiful. "There goes another dream". Who doesn't know that feeling?

I'd forgot how bloody good he is in this.

Heartbreaking. What a performance!

I love getting surprised by movies like these. Watched it having no idea what it was beforehand, was blown away. Such a good movie.

incredible writing and masterfull performances by all actors in this movie. Masterpiece 👏👏👏👏👏

Best bit of the film.

Such a GREAT actor

It’s, simply put, one of the best scenes I’ve ever seen in any film. Ever.

Don’t know if anyone noticed in the beginning of the film Dominic asking Padraic what he thinks they use the hook for and at the end the old woman uses one to pull him out of the water

"Look at this I found! A stick with a hook. What would you use it for I wonder? To hook things that are a length of a stick length away..." I knew the kid was doomed. Chekov's hooky stick.

There's a lovely and heartbreaking madness to this gem of a film. You laugh one minute, you cry the next. There's just so much "there" there. IMHO, it should have swept more like EEAAO did, though it was a good film. Didn't hit me like Banshees did though. Aaaaand, it's been too long a while since I've been back to Ireland, so there's that, lol.

Best actor in the world.

Played so beautifully by Keoghan. He’s my new favorite actor.

Bloody roller coaster this film. It’s soo soo good

Everyone in this film is giving career best performances, the excellent and economically poetic script certainly helps.

I loved EEAAO, and don’t begrudge it any of the Oscar wins it got. But I do wish Banshees had won a few that night. I thought for sure it would at least get best original screenplay.

He has my Oscar.

This the only clip I have ever seen of this movie and I am crying!

I watched for the first time "The Whale" and "The Banshees of Inisherin" today. What can I say? This movie deserved the Oscar af

Thank you, BAFTA for giving recognitions for these both incredible actors.

Barry Keoghan killed it in this and also The Killing of a Sacred Deer. I’d like to see much more of his art.

i dont know why this resonated with me so much, when the "fall in love with a boy like me, would ya" line hit something uniquely genuine was there

I got SO SAD in this moment…..the movie’s end just shattered my heart 😔

Man I do not care, this movie deserved at least a couple Oscars. One of the most beautiful movies of the year

Our favorite line of entire movie was, "Well I'd best go over there and do whatever that thing over there I was going to do was." Just perfect from a pathos, humor, etc etc. Amazing actor. Amazing cast all the way around. Favorite movie of the year.

"Don't skip ahead"😄 love this. He does a brilliant job of this part. Funny, sweet and sad all at once ❤

This movie, even though not set in Ireland really reminded me of Hemingway’s writing. The strong performances, script, the pastoral landscapes, the accents… this scene though… it’s the perfect “iceberg theory” on screen. There is so much going on in this scene but only a small percentage of it is visible. When you realize he was on the way to kill himself, it makes it much darker. His story was the most tragic, seeing his one crush at the end and her rejecting him.

To me the most impactful line is “no, yeah, no. I was thinking no”

Heart-wrenching stories in the periphery. The focus, the 2 protagonists, have the least dramatic and tragic one.

Barry is a brilliant actor with such a bright future!!!

That was feckin’ brilliant like. This kid is sublime!

Most memorable scene in the move imo. The film is excellent and memorable. It does a great job in developing secondary characters.

I keep.play this over and over!!!

Ok I can SOOOOOOOO see what the hype about this actor is now. . "Well there goes that dream." I saw the words coming up but couldn't imagine he would deliver them so well. ARRRRRGH! I couldn't watch. He is a true talent. Well played, Barry Keoghan, The hype is well deserved. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Barry's deviations from the script are ALL big improvements e.g. he does not emphasize "that" in "There goes that dream" as the script does, which would've been much worse. "Should have planned this really" is a great ad lib not in the script. He also cut the part about "bony little feet" which seems tonally wrong for the scene. Barry knows what he's doing.

Simply one of the best movies of the last decade(s).

The guy is just a monster actor. I watched it at the cinema and then again at home.

I love barry because hes child like..wich makes him endearing..

After watching this, Sacred deer and Saltburn, he is like my new favorite actor.

This scene man.....hits me right in the feels. This cat has a bright future. Phenomenal talent

He is so heartbreaking in this scene

Excellent script and acting. Congratulation. You guys did justice to the little big tragedies of life. You made it timeless.

Atleast he took a swing

المشهد كان رهيب والفلم عميق ومريت بشعور الصديق

The range of this guy is amazing

What an actor. Almost dropped a tear

If there was any justice in this world Barry Keoghan would’ve won the Oscar for this performance, although a BAFTA and a nomination ain’t bad. What a cast and crew all-round. It’s a superb, haunting film.

Brilliant acting

It's interesting to see how the script differs from final version, changes the tone. The final version cuts out lines from the script. Like in the script when he walks away he says something to her at the end. That was cut out. And what was chosen instead was him walking of silently looking back and taking off his hat.

Barry Keoghan is improving on what Giovani Ribisi set out to achieve. He is quickly becoming my favourite actor of all time.

Love this guy! Love this movie!!

This is the exact moment that I broke down crying. I did not stop till I got home.

Incredible. Very sad moment.

This is my favorite scene from the movie --- so perfect, so beautiful, so heartbreaking. What an actor.
