Critics Consensus

Warped, grimy, and enthusiastically unpleasant, Filth lives up to its title splendidly.

Deborah Ross The Spectator 09/05/2018
Filth is ghastly and unpleasant, but also kind of brilliant, and therein lies both the reward and the rub. Go to Full Review Josh Kupecki Austin Chronicle 06/05/2014
2/5
To its detriment, Filth too often pulls its punches, and if you're striving for pitch black, that is most definitely a cardinal sin. Go to Full Review Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic 06/05/2014
3/5
"Filth" lives up to its title and then some, but a no-holds performance by James McAvoy is reason enough to watch. Go to Full Review Robert Sims Lights Camera Austin 01/22/2022
Jon S. Baird's manic adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel maintains a constant high for much of its 97 head-spinning minutes before it sets up into a confrontation between a broken man and his personal demons. Go to Full Review Jim Ross TAKE ONE Magazine 02/13/2020
Although it often stumbles into gaudily hedonistic mud-rolling, Jon S. Baird's film boasts a bold tone, sharp dialogue and a towering performance from James McAvoy. Go to Full Review Shikhar Verma High on Films 02/13/2020

Jack F @MovieFan111 Mar 17 I don't know why everyone's saying this is explicitly "filthy". It's not any more inappropriate than others in this genre. It's kind of like Trainspotting meets Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. McAvoy was really good in his role. I wasn't really able to connect everything as the story went along, but it was alright for the most part. Crazy how many people had blue eyes in this movie. See more Dindar M @RT28272032 Mar 14 The movie follows the name perfectly… and the story it holds and the way it slowly unfolds is immaculate because this is a real problem in our society nowadays but nobody cares to talk about it, specially men who hides their feeling and the urge to call for help — it really hit me hard See more Martin W @Marty772 Feb 4 Not 5 mins in and a bunch of kids casually murder another kid. You know then it's more brain dead trash for morons! Utter garbage 🗑️ See more Jasper W @Jaspsr Jan 17 The real trainspotting 2. A gem. See more Mickey B. @Mickerdoo Dec 26 McAvoy is so fun to watch when he’s having mental instability. Aptly named film, for sure. Should stick to the meds. See more Camille B @RT90158037 Oct 1 Too much all at once. Made me feel like I was the one on drugs not the character of the show. No thanks. See more Read all reviews
