5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Tale Of Tragic Love, February 21, 2008
I have watched this film several times over the years, and it really is unforgettable. Even though it is also disturbingly violent and psychologically unstable, it is an extremely involving film about all-consuming love and friendship. A boy, Darin, and a girl, Sinead, are born on the same day and live next to each other, sleeping literally next to each other, even though in different houses. They hang out with each other all day long all through childhood and into early adulthood, their 17th birthday being only 17 days away. Their friendship is so intense they shut the entire world outside their little circle out. Sinead, nicknamed "Runt" is the more quiet and calm of the two, while Darin, nicknamed "Pig", is confused and a very troubled youth, which increasingly makes its appearance.

As their birthday approaches, Darin makes clear to Sinead that his love is more than a friend's love, and being his best (only) friend and "whole world", as he says, she can't reject him in any normal way. Their relationship gets strained to the maximum when she is sent away to a vocational school, Darin being judged to be a "lost cause". From there on, there is no turning back for Darin, as his almost Faustian love for her makes him burn all bridges. I can see something of myself as a youngster in the Irish lad, the omnipresent love, and the feeling that she is the entire world.

Even though the film is extremely violent at times, and you just want it to end at times, it is also at the same time incredibly beautiful, just as the actress Elaine Cassidy herself. The two actors are great examples of Irish anthropology, she being the darker strain and him the reverse. She's got such a beautiful smile and light brown eyes the film is worth watching just for that.

If you want a beautiful tale of love and tragedy, with the added bonus of an all-European cast and a splendid view of Ireland, look no further, but be aware that this is no children's film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving film with outstanding performances, March 12, 2009
By D. Edwards (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Cillian Murphy is an outstanding actor and my new favorite. I've been watching all of his movies since seeing 28 Days Later. Disco Pigs is one of his best. It's a difficult story to watch and somewhat brutal, but very moving. Both leads were terrific, the directing was as beautiful and whimsical as their relationship. This is a must watch for Cillian Murphy fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars No middle ground..., November 23, 2008
By waxpoetic "Lori" (Keystone Heights, Fl) - See all my reviews
You'll either love this movie (as I do) or you'll hate it! There seems to be no middle ground for people where this movie is concerned...However if your a fan of Elaine (that's me indeed) or Cillian, this is some of their best work and a must have for your collection! The strong Irish (cork) accents for me was just an added bonus, but many seem to have a problem with it though...
