For a debut film, Dirty Girl is fun to watch, filled with stellar performances and reminds people over the age of 19 why it's sooo awesome to not be a teenager anymore.

This is a fearless performance but one that doesn't forget to be genuine and real, Danielle's emotional transformation stirring, oftentimes powerful and, in my opinion, difficult to forget.

Rated: 2.5/4

Dirty Girl isn't. Sorry, but it's just faux grime, a thin layer of bad behaviour that wipes clean with a two-ply tissue to reveal the real movie beneath - all shiny sentimentality.

Rated: 2/4

Growing up gay in 1980s Oklahoma could not have been easy, but writer-director Abe Sylvia and the cast of his debut feature Dirty Girl make it look like a helluva lot of fun.

Dirty Girl is an off beat gem that's well worth the bidding war it inspired at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival.

Rated: 7.5/10

...l feels like a Hollywood vision of the way the ignorant and unwashed comport themselves. It feels ugly and it made me sad.

Really great cast, carried by excellent leads (Juno Temple and Jeremy Dozier are awesome). Lots of great music integrated perfectly into the film. Quirky, fun, quasi-road movie. If you open your mind, very enjoyable and entertaining movie. I laughed out loud numerous times at very clever bits and was surprisingly touched by some of the more serious aspects of the film. Outside the box for sure, which is why you see some negative reviews, but I like unconventional.

I thought as a girl who grew up never knowing her father, with a young mom, I related. I didn't know I was gonna cry as the movie was pretty funny. Don't know why it got a low rating. Not everybody can relate and have been privileged to know both their parents. Thought it was nicely made. And how it added that just because u have both parents doesn't mean ur going to live in a house full of love. And how heartbreaking it is to know the parent that was never there seeing them with another child that they actually take care of and how different they're moral compass and self esteem will be effected. But yet again some parents are better off not being in our lives if they're like Clark's.
