Orphaned brothers and Christian radicals, Tim and Vic, arrive in Ilkley with the relatively straightforward task of assassinating Professor John Huxley. However, after a classic case of mistaken identity, they find themselves having murdered the wrong man. Now stuck in the town during Ilkley's busiest weekend, they wait for the arrival of a foreboding mentor to give them instruction. The mission must still be completed -- that's providing Vic's rage, Tim's doubts or the efforts of foul-mouthed Detective Inspector Brough don't get in the way first.

Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (LAist) 04/06/2021
It starts off a little slow and then gets gripping in the second half... In the end, it really congeals. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 04/01/2021
Has enough entertainingly startling moments to mark its filmmaker as capable of bigger and better things. Go to Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian 09/23/2020
3/5
Simmons and Michell, blessed with good ideas and the craft to do them justice, are building a notable filmography on the margins: let's hope the industry's moneymen are watching. Go to Full Review Amanda Mazzillo Film Inquiry 04/10/2021
Say Your Prayers is a thoughtful and humorous exploration of morality, religion, and the strength-good or bad-of individual people filled with memorable performances especially from Harry Melling and Tom Brooke as the central brothers. Go to Full Review Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media 04/06/2021
4/5
More accurate and far sharper than its two hit men brothers, this impressive satire hits every mark it aims for. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 10/09/2020
3/5
With a bone-dry sense of humour, this crime comedy maintains focus on two young protagonists whose tough past has left them damaged. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Annie W @RT23623461 09/04/2023 Overall a funny yet slowpaced story, with compelling perfomances and a nice choir. See more Edward J @RT90717318 03/05/2023 I just about kept my eyes open for it. Not particularly well written. I would not recommend to a friend. See more diane S @RT11306624 11/08/2021 One knows doesn't one, from the very first frame, when a really top notch, unique offering of a cinematic experience is about to happen? And surprise, surprise when, as it unfolds, not a single one of the formulaic mush crutches that hollywood so heavily relies on raises its ugly decayed head. "Dry Your Tears" is one such gem and my admiration of the tallest, skinniest of the two leads is bordering on idolitry while the other of the pair easily slid right into my heart and affections. Everyone involved here is gifted from the makers of the film to the actors. I just wish there was more of this sort of thing happening in the world of film. See more Read all reviews
