Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com Something in the Dirt has the gritty DIY-vibe of the no-budget world from which it sprang, and is both thought-provoking and crazy-making, just like the mood it presents. Rated: 3/4 Nov 9, 2022 Full Review K. Austin Collins Rolling Stone Ultimately, Something in the Dirt doesn’t quite convince as a genuine mystery -- and it doesn’t seem to be meant to. Having fun with the artifice of it all seems far more to the point. Nov 7, 2022 Full Review William Bibbiani TheWrap What it has in abundance is genuine sadness. Benson and Moorhead direct and shoot their film smartly, but their performances are what ground it and give it shape. Nov 4, 2022 Full Review Lee Zumpe Tampa Bay Newspapers “Something in the Dirt” is weird in the best possible way. Oct 26, 2023 Full Review Damon Wise Deadline Hollywood Daily Something in the Dirt is a puzzle that’s unusual in that it doesn’t want you to solve it, just to engage and take a ride. Sep 16, 2023 Full Review Kat Halstead Common Sense Media It's that undeniably solid relationship between filmmakers Moorhead and Benson, and the characters they portray, that really gives Something in the Dirt its impact. Rated: 3/5 Sep 13, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Jay A Like an homemade acid trip, like all Justin and Aaron's movies, only this one was bad. I know it means something deeper, but it's poorly done. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Nad B What a great end Love it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review phd angel This would have been a brilliant movie if it were 1 hour shorter. The premise, format, interactions and ending are excellent, but the middle ground is just painfully and unnecessarily long. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review Robert R I kept watching in the hope that there would be some kind of character or plot development, but to no avail. There are no truths or arguments being argued or analyzed. It's just blather with occasional suspenseful sound effects. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Adam B Unbearably boring. I couldn't make it all the way through. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Cristian s Una película muy mala. Que digo mala, malísima. Malísima nivel nunca me duermo viendo una película y con esta me paso. La historia tenia potencial pero después de los primeros minutos el desarrollo se vuelve aburrido y casi nulo. Claramente confunden "diálogos inteligentes" por las diferentes teorías que tiran cuando en realidad es palabrería pretenciosa. Y como el propio film trata de tomarlo de referencia en varias ocasiones me abre la puerta para decir: cualquier capitulo de X-Files es mejor que esto (y dura 3 veces menos). El suceso final esta zafable pero eso no hace que valga la pena aguantar el resto. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
