In this episode we discuss In Bruges (McDonagh 2008), starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Clémence Poésy, and Ralph Fiennes. It's a violent and incredibly offensive movie about honour, goodness, and a generally non-toxic friendship between two Irish assassins (I know, we're really selling it), but it's also tender and brings up some important stuff about what it means to be a decent human. It's also a holiday movie!
Huge content warning here: there are depictions of child death, suicide, and suicidal ideation in this film, which we discuss, along with the movie's homophobic, fatphobic, ableist, and sizeist rhetoric, so please do what you need to do to take care of yourself.
Otherwise, enjoy!
