It’s a clever flick with an undercurrent of social commentary about how the bar for just being considered worthwhile in this world can depend on the size of your inheritance. Go to Full Review Richard Lawson IndieWire Jan 29
By the end of the film, I was quite enjoying spending some time with them, despite wanting so badly to flee the scene at the beginning of the film. I suppose that, once in a while, an acquired taste proves all the more satisfying. Go to Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International Jan 26
The film refuses to go in predictable directions, unveiling bizarre side characters and travelling down odd narrative backroads. But that occasional bagginess also allows for a richly textured picture bursting with energy. Go to Full Review Trace Sauveur AwardsWatch Apr 27

Idiots is funny, volatile, and genuinely melancholic, the work of a filmmaker who is first and foremost a movie fan...It also has a very good projectile diarrhea joke. Go to Full Review Rosa Parra The Latino Slant Feb 23
8/10
The Shitheads is one of the festival’s surprises. This is fun, entertaining, and a palate cleanser after seeing a lot of heavy subject films. It’s a hilarious film featuring unexpected situations and strong performances from Jackson and Franco. Go to Full Review James Preston Poole Discussing Film Feb 18
4/5
Macon Blair's The Shitheads is a laugh-out-loud throwback to the kind of raunchy buddy comedies that simply don't get made anymore. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
