      Isabel D Absolutely loved it. So many emotions during the film, I just wish Pig weren't de@d. Binge watching all cillian's movies, he's insane!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/22 Full Review Audience Member After viewing this magnificent film 4 consecutive times, I can say that this is one fine piece of art. Making meaningful and digestible movies from thought provoking plays can be a difficult task, but Kirsten seriously nailed it. I thought this film offered a new interpretation of what a movie can offer. Instead of regurgitating tired tales of cinema, what would normally stay confined in the realm of theater can be seen in all of its glory on the silver screen. I thought this translation to the big screen was done beautifully thanks to a magnificent director and cast. Seeing as this was not Cillian Murphy's first rodeo, as he had done a previous production in the 90's, he delivered a seasoned and memorable performance. Though artsy and thoughtful movies are often cast aside for the more simplistic and safe stories, this production deserves far more credit than it has been given. An amazing addition to Irish films, Disco Pigs is not a film I will soon forget, but will be remembered as the shining gem that it truly is. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Well-acted, difficult to watch. I didn't enjoy it, but, to be fair, I don't think Pig or Runt would care whether or not I enjoyed it, so perhaps that's the point. Certainly original. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member The most amazing movie I have ever seen, and I'm pretty sure will ever see . Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review rory s Very good movie. About a terrifying couple of hooligans who cause havoc in their wake. The couple were born on the same day. Good acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Increasingly hard to watch. It's well done right, and considered, but I don't know if it left me with anything. It left me really sad.
