We are all guilty of giggling in a super serious situation or bursting out laughing as someone does or says something they are not supposed to. Dark humor can be found in almost any situation: when pointed out, it's often used to either provoke an audience for a reaction or point out how ridiculous a set of norms are.
Audiences will be relieved to know that I Care a Lot isn't based on one particular true incident.

With genuine laugh-out-loud moments, a thought-provoking script, and gorgeous cinematography, it's not too far-fetched to imagine that The Banshees of Inisherin is already a classic that will go down in history as being among the top movies of this decade. Farrell and Gleeson's stellar performances, the dark story and the setting's bleak atmosphere can easily pull viewers in.
