Remarkable as much for its insights as for its audacity, "The Dirties" approaches school violence with a comic veneer that slowly shades into deep darkness.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A masterful blend of black humor and queasy dread ...
In such a cluttered cultural space, it feels so startlingly fresh, urgent, honest and real.
Technically cruddy and tiresome in its we've-seen-a-lot-of-movies dialogue ...
The Dirties explores high school violence from a refreshingly original angle.
