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.

A nice coming-of-age comedy that allows its main cast to exercise the limitations of acting. An enjoyable performance by a young Juno Temple who embodies the feistiness and emotional development of a teenage girl during a road trip with her socially alienated friend.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

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.
