Holy Tongue

About This Movie

So, 'Holy Tongue' from 2000 is this quirky little comedy that dives into the lives of two slacker friends who stumble upon a stolen relic – the tongue of St. Anthony, no less. It's got a pretty offbeat vibe, blending absurdity with a touch of dark humor. The pacing bounces around, which keeps you guessing but can feel uneven at times. The performances have this raw, almost improvisational feel, which really adds to the charm. There's a certain DIY spirit throughout, especially in the practical effects, which are surprisingly effective given the budget. It’s distinctive in how it mixes religious themes with a comedic twist, exploring friendship and greed in a rather unusual way.
