REVIEW
The talented Mr Keoghan
Barry Keoghan is a singular screen presence. Perhaps you saw the Dublin-born actor in The Banshees of Inisherin as damaged village idiot Dominic, outshining the headline stars with a broken-hearted line reading so casually devastating – “Well, there goes that dream” – it became shorthand for the entire film. (He was Oscar-nominated for Best Supporting Actor and also won a Bafta.)
Keoghan’s naturalistic deportment and distinctive features have also added unexpected depth and superhero fantasy . In 2017’s – another film where Keoghan starred opposite Farrell – he transformed the mundane act of eating spaghetti into something deeply ominous.
