Starring Oscar-nominee Barry Keoghan (Saltburn, The Banshees of Inisherin) and Christopher Abbott (Possessor, Sanctuary), BRING THEM DOWN is a tense and gripping thriller about two warring families set against the harsh landscape of rural west Ireland. When the ongoing rivalry between farmers Michael (Abbott) and Jack (Keoghan) suddenly escalates, it triggers a chain of events that take increasingly violent and devastating turns, leaving both families permanently altered. From first-time filmmaker Christopher Andrews and co-starring Colm Meaney, Paul Ready and Nora-Jane Noone, this is a fierce, muscular debut that signals a bold new cinematic voice.

Critics Consensus

By withholding clear heroes or easy villains in its tale of a destructive neighborly feud, Bring Them Down stands out as an exceptionally nuanced exercise in vengeance.

Jonathan Romney

Financial Times

This is a clever film, and an atmospheric one, but its elaborate accumulation of cataclysms ultimately feels like one thing after — or before, or during — another.

Rated: 3/5

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

It’s a serious, sombre film about something else — something, perhaps, very English that is fully smothered here.

Rated: 2/5

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

An impressive first feature from Christopher Andrews... a bruising tale of vengeance accompanied by a savage, percussive score by Hannah Peel that sounds as though it was played on scrap metal and abandoned farm machinery.

Rated: 4/5

Morbidly Beautiful

Gorgeously crafted, unbearably tense, and seething with quiet rage, this is not for the faint of heart. It's a tale of fragile masculinity, generational bitterness, and the corrosive nature of vengeance.

Rated: 4/5

Christopher Abbott has been putting in reliably good work while flying relatively under the radar for almost two decades. Bring Them Down is the opposite of a showy performance, but it deserves to bring him to a wider audience.

Well-shot and acted, Bring Them Down holds interest. But the kind of modern-day Jacobean tragedy it aims for is ultimately beyond the grasp of a scenario lacking that grandeur.

Dark. Depressing. Scenes of animals being killed. Foul language. If that’s your thing, give it a try. I walked out. I don’t like to watch helpless animals being killed.

Although the film had great performances and cinematography, both my friend and myself got sick watching this film! The abuse to animals was rampant and the abuse to the other families was also horrid! I am NOT a person who can calmly watch a film that shows intentional (although not actual) slaughter of animals and hatred between people who should be kind and non-abusive to their old neighbors. It made me sick and inside, I felt like crying!

Grotesque and unnecessary turn in the story that left me feeling really bad after watching this movie. I can handle a dark plot but I dont know what kind of sicko writes this level of detail into a story that goes on far too long. The feud was already believable without needing to take the audience into the writers disgusting dark place. Its a shame because the acting was great but DO NOT see this movie.
