In 1997, 19-year-old Kyle Miller dreams of launching a party backdrop business with his best friend, Eric Hernandez. While Kyle is eager, Eric is reluctant, burdened by his parents' expectations. They skip college, opting to spend a year working on their business plan during routine visits to the local laundromat. One night, a mysterious stranger interrupts their laundry night with words of wisdom and a magic trick. Suddenly, the friends discover they are incapable of lying. As they work together to break the spell, they discover how much is at stake when the truth comes out.

TheIndependentCritic.com

Walls has crafted a quietly engaging and often quite funny story about friendship beyond the surface and how that changes us, challenges us, helps us grow, occasionally breaks us up, but more often than not makes us better human beings.

Rated: 3.5/4.0

Shikhar Verma

High on Films

Using John Hughes as an inspiration, “Dirty Laundry” is the kind of teenage coming-of-age drama that feels like a breezy watch up until it gives us a surprisingly mature take on masculinity.

Rated: 2.5/5

Dirty Laundry is mandatory viewing for all, especially if you and your friend are at a similar juncture as the one that Kyle and Eric were at.

Dirty Laundry is not just a film about a business venture but a powerful exploration of friendship and personal growth.

I really enjoyed this heartwarming, sweet, nostalgic, surprisingly funny and ultimately moving film about the dreams and friendship between two young men. It also nicely captures the zeitgeist of the 90s, when I was younger, single and searching for connection -- It sure felt relatable. I loved the touch of magic realism — did not expect that in a story set in Indianapolis! — and the young actors were charismatic and had really good chemistry. An excellent fiction film debut by veteran documentary filmmaker Rocky Walls.

this movie has in interesting plot, but with no context it is a extremely difficult watch, 90% of the movie occurs in a laundromat and half thew screening is silence between lines. The acting isn't terrible but this story wasn't for me, did not make sense and was not worth the renting price... dont understand how this movie has almost perfect reviews.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Incredible performances by Charlie and Mitchell for their first big film. Off the bat, you can sense the chemistry and friendship they have with each other and that adds all the extra spice you need. A whirlwind of emotions, to say the least, truly a roller coaster ride. Highly recommended!
