Wordiezett So much average

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Bene Cumb Ambivalent and unpredictable characters in the environment of norms and rules have always attracted attention, teens are additionally vulnerable and seeking their place in the world, some with success, others with fear and anger. The latter applies to the leading characters Darren/"Pig" and Sinéad/"Runt", who have known each other from the day they were born, living as neighbours, attending the same school...Both have odd insights about life and surroundings, paving the way for criminal and tragic events. Thus, the plot has twists, but the course of them was hard to believe - are there no cops in Ireland and/or all wrongdoings remain unpunished? The ending was generally anticipated as well, but, thanks to wonderful performances by Elaine Cassidy and Cillian Murphy, the 1 hour 25 minutes film is catchy to follow.A twisted Romeo and Juliet in a contemporary closed community... Distinct, but not particularly flimsy. Still a must for fans of Murphy and Cassidy.

spartacrust OK if you as the viewer live 24/7 in some sort of fantasy land. Also to claim this film as some sort of ground breaking form of realistic acting is preposterous.A seriously flawed storyline too, not even in the real local in which it is set would you find two supposedly clever 17 yr old kids, with such a childish sense of humour. I'd put their behavioural age at around 8.On the whole 2 totally unbelievable characters who wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes in the real world. I was waiting for some diagnosis of mental illness, or ADHD and bi-polar disorder at the very least. Total nutters the pair of them.And as for the bar scene at the end, do large beefy Irish adults just stand around whilst a scrawny pathetic weakling of a child bashes some poor innocent (knocked out cold lying helpless on the floor,) with an iron bar for 5 minutes, 2 blows would have been enough to kill the average human. Overdone and very well overrated by the viewers, most of whom on this site must surely be under 25.

cheripeppa231 After seeing Cillian Murphy's excellent performances in several movies (Red Eye, Batman Begins, Girl With A Pearl Earring) I began to search for other movies, particularly ones that he plays a large role in. Disco Pigs was exactly the kind of movie I was looking for. The directing was excellent, along with the acting. Elaine Cassidy did a wonderful job portraying Runt. Never, at any point in the movie, did I lose attention or criticize the actors. The plot was brilliant and extremely creative. I mean, who ever thought of two people with a relationship bordering between intense sister-brother, and dangerous, obsessive love? From beginning to end, I remained entertained and interested. In short, Disco Pigs was great and I recommend seeing it.

bellapussycat1 This film was absolutely spectacular. It was well acted, shot and wrote and the mix of innocence and anger were well represented.This film was one that i had eagerly anticipated watching and i was not disappointed by it. At times it was painful to watch but was compelling all the same as it really drew the audience in. Cillian Murphy was excellent as the mentally challenged Pig as even in his madness you are drawn to him and his obvious similarity to a confused child. Elaine Cassidy was equally well cast as the introverted Runt.I would recommend this film although admittedly it will not be to everyones tastes.
