"The funniest movie of the year"
“Deadly Cuts is the funniest movie of the year and one of the best Irish comedies in decades. Charming, genuinely touching and not to mention hilarious. Filled with characters that will have cinema goers nudging their friends with “that’s you”, it's tremendous fun. Writer/director Rachel Carey has given us a funny, feminist and uniquely Irish comedy that is destined for a cult following. With rumours swirling we may see Deadly Cuts make the jump to TV. I am “dyeing” to see more from the ladies of Piglinstown.”

Live and let dye
"Alongside the dirty jokes, there are some really clever lines. It has that Derry Girls confidence of being utterly place-specific without pandering to other audiences.”

“Brash, bold and boisterous, Irish comedy Deadly Cuts is a cut above the competition
Perfectly formed, 90-minute comedies are hard to come by these days. Brash, bold and boisterous, Deadly Cuts is a welcome addition to the genre.
The assured feature debut of writer-director Rachel Carey, Deadly Cuts is slickly edited, zipping along with so many zingy one-liners it's hard to keep, and features some outrageously camp performances that add to the infectious joy this film emanates.”
