A friendship between two young people grows into a dangerous obsession in this drama based on the acclaimed stage play by Enda Walsh. Darren (Cillian Murphy) and Sinead (Elaine Cassidy) were born mome... read more
This movie was a strange jumble of awkward and "artistic" moments between Cassidy and Murphy, strange plot, and basically no reason. Mainly, I just wanted to know why Runt stuck with Pig so long.
Completely original. I loved the decline of sanity in Cillian Murphy throughout the film, great acting as always. The story is really intense, yet fun. You become so enthralled in the characters that you can't wait to see what happens when their world comes crashing down. It's a ... read more
There was just something about this story that was brought to my attention.
Darren aka Pig [Murphy] and Sinead aka Runt [Cassidy] are two of a kind, born on the same day in the same hospital...just several minutes apart. Since birth they become friends, first by reaching their t... read more
This is a sweet, gritty, low budget, self-destructive, Irish love story. Brilliant performance from a young Cillian Murphy too.
I watched this in Dublin when it first came out in 2002, before it was released around the rest of Europe. It is Kirsten Sheridan's directorial debut (daughter of the great Jim Sheridan) and as such a first effort I thought it was breath-taking. Based on a play by Enda Walsh (who... read more

All that needs to be said about this movie is that the two leads are incredibly gifted actors and they are the real reason why someone can sit through this entire movie. Incredible performances. But I think we knew they could act.
The director does a great job flowing with what ... read more
It is indeed "90 minutes you will never foreget." The acting is phenomenal and though the story itself is not particularly impressive, the language is this marvelous Shakespearean Cork slang mixture. It's really gorgeous, even if you can't quite figure out what they're talking ... read more
The first good film I had to watch for a class!
Performance by Murphy is amazing. The music choices are incredible. I think I'm going to watch this again.
A bit strange, but very good. I think Cillian Murphy is the only actor who can pull off cute and creepy at the same time. Elaine Cassidy does an excellent job as well.
Deserves to be remembered long after the house lights have gone up. Full Review
