Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
"Filth" lives up to its title and then some, but a no-holds performance by James McAvoy is reason enough to watch.

fresh:
Credit the filmmakers with descending persuasively into the swampy squalor of a diseased mind. If you're in the mood to go there with them, Filth offers an indecently bracing wallow.

rotten:
I'm not sure I can recommend the movie, but this actor and this performance are something to behold.

Viewers hungry for a catch-all dose of Welshian sardonicism would be better served checking out Trainspotting. Better soundtrack, for one.

Unlike Jude Law's similarly offensive title character in Dom Hemingway, McAvoy is given a far better story to work from.
