Deadly Cuts is a 2021 Irish comedy film directed and written by Rachel Carey. [1] [2]
Deadly Cuts was filmed on location in Loughlinstown. [3]
North Dublin hairdressers Deadly Cuts must fight for its survival against both a local protection racket and then a greedy developer; they then enter a televised hairdressing competition.
Deadly Cuts was the most successful Irish film at the box office for 2021. [4] [5]
Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 94% based on 17 reviews. [6] The Irish Times gave it 3 stars out of 5, criticising the broad comedy, which they compared negatively with Mrs. Brown's Boys, but praising the performances of Victoria Smurfit and Pauline McLynn. [7] The Guardian gave it 2 out of 5, referring to the " Ortonesque" murder plot, but saying the film was "more silly than funny." [8]
It was nominated for five Irish Film and Television Awards, winning one (Best Costume Design for Kathy Strachan). [9] [10] [11]
