The Banshees of Inisherin leads 2022 London Critics Circle Film Awards nominations
Updated: Jan 11
The Banshees of Inisherin unsurprisingly leads the nominations for the London Critics Circle Film Awards for 2022. Capitalizing on its status as both a British and an Irish production, since these awards recognize both in a series of special categories, the movie earns nine nominations total, including Film of the Year and British/Irish Film of the Year. Strong showings here too for fellow British/Irish titles Living and The Wonder, and also for Decision to Leave and Saint Omer. Winners for the 43rd LCC Film Awards will be announced on 5 February.
