Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but the dark humor and writing of this movie I found incredibly well done. Worth the watch
Simple, bleak, beautiful. A sardonic comedy for people that find humour in the darkest and narrowest of alcoves.
The best dark comedy I’ve seen since Death of Stalin. Gleason and Ferrell are great together.
Dark humor with deep philosophical undertones.
The lightness of comedy shadowing our run from truth only to be contrasted by this truth coming back, inevitable, violent and crude.
In Bruges is my favourite film. Emotional, hysterical and action packed. A must watch if you love black comedies.
A very well rounded comedy. The jokes land, as well as the on par acting displayed by a great cast. Well worth a watch.
Combines dark character drama with Coen-esque absurd comedy that makes hitmen into lovable grumps and reasonable psychos. 10/10 writing here
Dark comedic drama with great one liners
There’s nothing not to be liked about this movie. Incredible writing, directing and acting.
