3.5/4.0
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. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
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.  Go to Full Review

Erubey G Mar 13 This was amazing indie cinema. The writing and cinematography were so plain and simple, yet emotional and engaging. The story made me shed a tear showing the emotional exploration of the main characters' friendship. See more Rob B 12/17/2024 Really enjoyed. Great story with a beautiful message. The film gets better and better as it unfolds. See more Mitchell T 12/14/2024 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. See more 10/22/2024 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. See more Rylan C 10/18/2024 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! See more Read all reviews
