Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

mistoppi Mostly this movie made me really uncomfortable. It's mostly the story and the weird relationship between Pig and Runt, and especially Pig as a character made me super uncomfortable with his inappropriate behaviour. He's the exact kind of person I wouldn't want to meet anywhere even briefly, because I'd have to be scared he's going to do something erratic. I've mostly seen Cillian Murphy in really creepy roles like in Red Eye and Batman Begins, and this one is no different. From the very beginning it's like oh no, It's Cillian Murphy and he's going to do something awful again.There's just something about their relationship that makes me want to tell Runt to run away. And at the same time I see comments about them, like some people don't just want Runt to be safe from Pig, which seems so weird to me. There's a lot of beautiful imagery in this movie, a lot of beautiful themes. It's very artsy but I just can't help but feel uncomfortable all through the movie. I can't appreciate all the beauty in it because I just can't stand Pig. Another thing that bothers me is the way they talk. No, not the Irish accent but sometimes the dialogue seems creepily childish. But I can see it's a great movie. It's well written, it's artistic and magical, it has great cast. I just don't like it on personal level.

avaporcelina This is a perfectly beautiful film; it must be experienced to be understood. It is filled with beauty and ugliness; artistic and painful. The relationship between Pig and Runt becomes very clear throughout the film; Pig feeds from Runt, making her weak with his violent love and jealously. Runt wishes to grow, and so she must do the unspeakable to her soul-twin, the one she loves most. A beautiful, brutal, and yet very delicate film. It is heart-wrenching, heart-breaking, disturbing and somehow fresh and classic at once. It is the tale of siamese twins connected at the soul, breeding both love and sickness, until they are forced to be severed.

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.

flypoodle Much is made of the violence in Disco Pigs, reviewers saying that it's mindless, but I think this is a much subtler film than they are giving it credit for. Pig and Runt are surrounded by constant violence - this is a society that brutalises it's children, is it any wonder that they then become brutal? Runt, especially, is the victim of violence, it's not surprising that she becomes complicit in the violence Pig meets out. And as for Pig, he's a bright boy, but one caught up in his own world, how better a way to express his love for Runt than by doing to others what is done to her, but on a far grander, more nihilistic scale? He is never anything but gentle and tender with her.Girls are drawn to borderline psychopathic men, look at Myra Hindley and Maxine Carr. And Runt doesn't stay passive, ultimately she is sickened by the violence and realises she has to make the break and discover her own personality.This is definitely a film to watch. Cillian Murphy and Elaine Cassidy give stellar performances, and are definitely stars of the future. Look beyond the surface apparently mindless violence, see what's really going on underneath.
