Another boon for The Banshees of Inisherin with the nominations for the St. Louis Film Critics Association's 2022 awards. After winning big with the New York Film Critics Online earlier today, and snagging a few top awards from the Boston Society of Film Critics, Martin McDonagh's new comedy leads the SLFCA nominations with a superb haul of 11. The Fabelmans and Tar both miss out on Best Film mentions, as a pair of female-directed titles break through instead: Maria Schrader's She Said, and Sarah Polley's Women Talking, both of which also enjoying a boost from the St. Louis critics. Winners will be declared a week from now, on 18 December.
