Colin Farrell is now a SAG award-winner for last year's The Penguin and if you want to celebrate the news, you can catch up on arguably the best movie of his career to date.
The 2022 masterpiece The Banshees of Inisherin saw Farrell reunite with his In Bruges co-star Brendan Gleeson and writer/director Martin McDonagh for a dark comedy set on a fictional island off the coast of Ireland.
It sees Pádraic (Farrell) deal with the abrupt end of his life-long friendship with Colm (Gleeson). It's a change that impacts everybody around them, including Pádraic sister's Siobhán (Kerry Condon) and the troubled Dominic (Barry Keoghan).
If you missed it at the cinema or fancy a rewatch, The Banshees of Inisherin is now available to watch for free on Channel 4's streaming service, following its terrestrial premiere on Channel 4 over the weekend.

Ahead of the movie's release in 2022, Farrell and Gleeson spoke to Digital Spy about whether we'll get to see a third movie with the pair and McDonagh.
"It depends on how it works for him. He won't come back with us until he's happy," Gleeson said, adding: "He said it a few times, "I don't want it to be worse than In Bruges". Why would you go back to do something worse than In Bruges."
"It was seven years ago we read the first version of [Banshees], and I was ready to do this version, I think we both would have done that version," Farrell recalled.
"He thought it was shite. He just kept the first five minutes of that version."
The Banshees of Inisherin is available to watch for free on Channel 4's streaming service shortly.
