Our first Volunteer Of The Month pick is from Preston, who has chosen the pitch-black Martin McDonagh comedy In Bruges!
A darkly hilarious meditation on guilt, redemption, and very bad timing, In Bruges is a foul-mouthed fairy tale for sinners. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are two hitmen hiding out in a postcard-perfect Belgian city, waiting for orders and wrestling with their consciences.
McDonagh’s feature debut balances razor-sharp dialogue, brutal violence, and unexpected heart—walking the tightrope between tragedy and comedy with bloody precision. Beautiful, profane, and weirdly poignant.
