Alec C A pre-2020s L.A. romance, replete with coarse language, characters, traffic, lots of drinking and eternal sunshine. It’s a dysfunctional love story that’s more complicated than your standard movie escapism. There’s a symbiosis these characters long for, but it may be out of reach. The lead actors are both relatable and richly flawed. It has a nice sun-drenched California look. Worth a watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review Melly B Great find on Amazon. A perfect example of how easily life can spiral out of control and what decisions are made after. Overall a great recommendation. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Ethan M "Dirty Beautiful" is a captivating rom-com that delves into the complexities of love with a refreshing edge. From its opening scenes, it's evident that this isn't your typical romance; it's raw, messy, and at times, heartbreakingly real. What sets this film apart is its fearless exploration of the darker aspects of love. It doesn't shy away from portraying the messiness and complications that often accompany romantic relationships. Instead, it embraces them, reminding us that love isn't always neat and tidy, but it's still an essential part of life. The characters in "Dirty Beautiful" are wonderfully flawed and relatable. As they navigate their own brokenness, they crash into each other in unexpected ways, leading to an unconventional yet deeply meaningful romance. What's refreshing is the authenticity of their interactions; they ask the questions we all want to ask and face the uncertainties of love head-on. One of the film's greatest strengths is its unpredictability. Just when you think you have it all figured out, it throws a curveball that keeps you on the edge of your seat. This element of surprise adds a layer of realism to the story, making it feel all the more poignant and relatable. Despite its darker moments, "Dirty Beautiful" is also surprisingly funny and heartwarming. It strikes a perfect balance between drama and humor, keeping the audience engaged from start to finish. And while the journey may not always lead to a traditional happily-ever-after, it reminds us that love is about compromise and finding beauty in imperfection. In a world saturated with cookie-cutter romances, "Dirty Beautiful" stands out as a refreshing and thought-provoking take on love. It's a film that deserves to be seen, celebrated, and cherished for its bold storytelling and genuine emotion. So do yourself a favor and give it a watch—you won't regret it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Deborah P This movie was well done, and it thought provoking. I encourage anyone to watch it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Joe C Fun title, "Dirty Beautiful" is a witty romantic comedy. If you enjoy movies about relationships this one's for you. It's relatable, with characters you might recognize and relate to. David, the main character, is a hopeless romantic seeking a girlfriend. The movie has great dialogue and presents real-life scenarios. I really enjoyed this one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review Seana K This was such a great flick! It was really really enjoyable. I thought the script was super strong, it was unique and funny, nothing about it felt like tired old relationship material, I was so pleasantly surprised! Some great, true laughs -- very likeable characters who make mistakes -- the performances by the two leads were so nuanced and subtle and FUNNY. The film was shot beautifully -- I found myself combing through the crew credits jotting down names! I really was all in for the journey of these two. The dialogue felt effortless, which is a nod to both the super strong script and the great performances. Dirty Beautiful was a totally engaging film with a great cast, and a smart, funny script. 100% worth the rental! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
