Rating: - Asks One to Suspend One's Disbelief Too Much
Yeah, so it's a coming of age story about a girl, Shenaid, and a guy, Darren, in Ireland who've hung out since birth. Darren's a raging bully and Shenaid thinks it's cute.

So, she and Darren are forced to spend an extended period of time apart, which they've never done. Darren realizes that he can't live without Shenaid. Shenaid realizes that she can ... Read More

Rating: - Very disturbing film, wonderfully acted
I have rarely been more disturbed by a film than this one. The acting is amazing, and though the plot is a little slow at the beginning, I really got wrapped up in it after the first half hour. Watching the relationship between Pig and Runt evolve is like watching a train crash in slow motion: you know things will get bad, but you can't look away. The characters are so wonderfully acted, but even so, I don't think I'd see this movie again because it's so disquieting...a sign of a really good film that ... Read More

Rating: - Haunting Similarities Regarding Teen Angst.
I saw Disco Pigs on the heels of watching Cillian Murphy in Red Eye. What a triumph for director Sheridan. What stood out for me was the similarities between Pig's experience as an Irish youth and that of many young African-American males. Pig appeared to be reared in a single-parent environment where there was no father figure; his school social worker made reference to him as a "lost cause" and his identification with manhood was sought through having his first sexual experience with his girl, Runt. ...

Rating: - A perfectly painful "Irish" film...
While I agree with the many positive reviews that this film is well-directed and shot, and engrossing in it's plot, it is also chock-full of weirdness. Cillian's bizarre Jamaican accent made me want to reach into the screen and smack him at (many) points. This one aspect of the film alone ruins it for me. Why? Of all the Irish accents available, why go with such a thick, disgusting accent for the most important, dynamic character in the film? Perhaps the accent was chosen to make him seem more insane, but ... Read More

Rating: - Cillian is Amazing!
I highly recommend this film. This movie is about obsessive love between 2 friends Pig and Runt. They share a world and a bond that seems to be unbreakable until their 17th birthday. Cillian Murphy is incredible as Pig. Even though his character is very violent, you can't dislike him. At times when Pig has went to far instead of getting upset with him, you want to embrace him. He cuts at your heart deeply. You feel his pain and how much he loves Runt. The ending made me cry harder than I've ever cried ... Read More
