Suit Hung. Tied Tongue.

I really appreciate filmmakers like this who are still out there trying to tell stories. I read this film was made with a budget of 10 thousand euro which is impressive considering the story that is told here. I don't want to spoil it but it was slow in the first 20 mins but by about the 35 min mark I was hooked by it till the end. The story just keeps escalating and makes a great point about who is making decisions for you and the effects it has on society as a whole. If you're looking for a giant epic scale in a CGI world...this is not that. If you're interested in a concisely told story that raises some valid questions, you're gonna have a good time 👍 very clever film.

Forgive me for thinking that a low budget film could only deliver a mediocre quality and performance from some unknown cast members . So I didn't have a whole lot of expectations and also I had no clue what the film was about . But how wrong was I, from the moment the film started to the end I was transfixed and couldn't take my eyes off the screen , every word and every scene was captivating and all the actor's gave an outstanding performance. The two Halpin brothers especially, I think Eydt and St Leger have only just begun and will go on to become house hold names in the future, best of luck to Suit Hung. Tied Tongue , I would confidently say the majority of people will enjoy the film as much as I did .

Unfortunately not everyone is as honest and supportive as they should be towards irish film and filmmakers. This film has so many 1 star reviews that all come from the same place (u.k) and more than likely the same spiteful person. I enjoyed Suit Hung Tied Tongue. It's interesting, provides some relevant social commentary but perhaps gets into a bit tinfoil-hat territory at times. But I suppose, it's a movie. I was really impressed by the score, the home video footage of Freddie and Sean, the montage sequences and the rather ambivalent ending. I disagree with the brothers actions whole heartedly, but I don't think the film sets out to say that they were right, I think it just says " there's mad yokes out there who would actually do this" and to be honest we're getting into that territory. It's well worth a watch. It combines crime doc with video journal well, kinda like giving you the literal two sides in Ireland - the side of the people and the side the media portray. It's interesting, it's dark and it's a far cry from a 1 star movie. And I believe it was made for like 20k so hats off to the crew. Watch it! 7/10.

The film plays out in a way that very closely mimics found footage journalism of the modern day with an amazing sense of realism and authentic portrayals of each character.

The amazing cast brings something unique to each role in which the movie could have focused on any of them as a protagonist. However the title character of Sean and Freddie played by Paul St Leger and Alex Eydt shows an amazingly sincere representation of a brotherly bond despite horrific circumstances.

Alex Eydt brings a wealth of talent with his convincing portrayal of a loyal younger brother wrapped up in a conspiracy, as well as his amazing performances of both the song and the poem he composed.

Paul St Leger tops the bill for a reason with an amazing portrayal of a caring brother, a loving boyfriend, an angry son and a calculating charismatic revolutionary. Paul truly steals the show while supporting his fellow cast members with genuine reactions and delivery of great dialogue by Sau Dachi. Paul frames the story of a multifaceted characters evolution into a ruthless radicalist walking a narrow line between fiction and reality

William Morgan as minister Paul Keogh is a perfect casting as while watching I had to check I was not watch a real political performance, scene for scene William shows a exemplary performance embodying the character of Paul Keogh to perfection.

For a small budget film it is excellent. I had no idea what this film was about, or what to expect. All I knew was that it was a new Irish film with a small budget. And I have to say that I left the cinema very happily surprised. It kept me captivated all the way through, and it really hits a nerve with the current social climate.

The director used every Cent of that budget to the maximum. Good acting, suspensful plot, beautiful aerial shots, unique sound track and poetry all adds to the authentic film making that used. I would say that this is a cult classic film of our times in the making. A recommended watch!
