MaryAnn M. See kids this is why you shouldn’t drink and do drugs Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/20/25 Full Review Hunter Y An absolutely epic documentary on some very real, oddly charismatic characters. I recently watched this for a second time and had forgotten how both funny, sad, and human this doc was. You will not easily forget this one. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review David M This film highlights and glorifies the drug addict and white trash sterotypes about people from West Virginia. These people do not represent true West Virginians. These people are nothing more than system leeches that have spent their entire lives working the system. They are legends in their own minds and nothing but a group of drug addicted lowlife criminals. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/25 Full Review Audience Member Hilarious documentary that's really a cringe comedy involving a colorful (and criminal) West Virginia family. The White Family is filled with outrageously colorful and literally criminal characters who are endlessly entertaining to watch in a Jerry Springer sort of way. However, the filmmakers are clearly mocking their subjects and hold them in contempt, which makes the film seem less objective and more simply a sneering elitist hit piece on these uneducated criminal hill folk. Still, the White Family is so outrageous, it's a train wreck that's impossible to look away from and compulsively watchable. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Seeing Johny Knoxville as the Executive Producer, it doesn't shock me that this was a movie exploiting the biggest collection of hillbilly trash I've seen since Deliverance. While it's a decent documentary and very informative re: this disturbingly uneducated band of trash, the local Defense Attorney said it perfectly at the very beginning: a local kid got accepted to MIT. Why isn't a camera following him around? This documentary is a saner, longer version of Jerry Springer. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member What starts as an Outlaw trainwreck finishes as a White Trash trainwreck. Then again, what's the difference? Knoxville & Tremaine's doc is completely exploitative. But the Whites obviously love attention any ways. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
