फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
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!

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.
It's hard to know what you're gonna get from indie cinema considering the restraints in budget and talent available. But by the looks, Dachi and co pulled together a lot of talent for this dark fable about societal rage and revenge. I remember seeing his debut short film at a festival in 2021 and being quite impressed, but this is not the type of film I thought he would go on to make. And maybe that was naive of me, considering how his debut film deconstructed the way horror movies are made, maybe it makes sense he would go on to make a fake documentary that is constantly blurring the lines between perspectives and leaving the viewer unsure of who is in control of the narrative (much like most true crimes, two sides to every story eh?)
It's slow burning at the start, one can only think of "The Manchurian Candidate"'s publicity notices of "if you arrive after 5 minutes, you won't know what this story is about". And that's a good thing, I think viewers should be engaging more with cinema regardless of the maker.
35 minutes or so is the turning point, a dark turning point as we start to realize where this tale is going. It's cleverly told with slick editing (love some of the mirroring and foreshadowing in montages) and possibly one the best musical scores I've heard in an indie feature coming from Ireland, if not further afield. The two leads are the cream that rise to the top in terms of the on-camera talent. Their home video footage feels very personal and natural while being eerily unsettling, similar to the tapes from Columbine or some other well-covered massacre. The strangest thing about this film is that it feels like something that has happened or is going to happen, and given the tense political climate of Ireland today, would you be surprised?
I think it'll lose some people, it's not a standard film nor does it want to be. It's a pseudo documentary that sometimes blurs the lines between fly on the wall and third person perspective and that is something that may be lost on the average viewer. It's slow at the start but it picks up pace and doesn't stop until about two minutes from the end. I look forward to seeing what Sau Dachi does next as I feel this is a very strong start in a director's career. I like seeing filmmakers tell stories in interesting ways, and "Suit Hung Tied Tongue" is definitely one of those stories. Bualadh bos to everyone involved.

I very much enjoyed this debut feature film from Sau Dachi. Suit Hung Tied Tongue weaves a dark fable of the dangers of lies and corruption by a dishonest and immoral state. When their mother dies in a health scandal, young Sean Halpin and his idealistic and artistic brother Fred become radicalized against their corrupt government, creating anonymous threatening videos and posting them on an online forum, stating that in a month's time, a top Irish government official will be murdered.
I completely disagree with those who say this film moves "too slowly", maybe our attention spans are getting worse. I was intrigued from the opening and shocked by the end. Talking with a couple of members of the audience, we agreed that despite what your opinion may be on this film, it does feel very grounded. Yes the politicians talk in a heightened way, yes you can have all the inside information on how the police would've caught these killers before they could act on their threats, yes you can slate some of the actors but for christ's sake, it's an independent feature film and a very good one at that. It's entertainment that feeds discussions about state rhetoric ( a lot of which is based in actual reality, sadly). Something I picked up on that i very much appreciated was the detectives discussing which of the brothers was more "willing" or a "ring leader" in the crime. While the older Sean often gets the title of the man with the plan because of his journals based in fact (detailing the government corruption he found from reading and deep-diving online), the detectives and psychoanalysts dismiss the younger Freddie's role, as all of his actions are based in art - making the masks they wear in their threats, writing poems detailing how they will enact revenge. I felt this showed the power of art and how it is often overlooked by governments and heads of state who are only interested in making money. They paid no attention to the poetry, only the journals written by Sean which described how corrupt they were.
It also features a montage about forty minutes in that is one of the most exhilarating, beautiful written, masterfully scored, precisely cut and woefully foreboding sequences I've seen in an Irish or UK feature film in 20 years and these are INDIE FILM MAKERS??
Yeah, it's not perfect. No film is a solid 10 for me, but this is a very strong independent feature film that I hope more people get to see. 7/10.

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.
