Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A moderately engrossing drama whose greatest strength is its stars. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Shikhar Verma High on Films While there are numerous leaps of logic throughout this crime saga, I’d still recommend you to check the film out because Yerby feels like a promising voice who could do better with a bigger budget at hand. Feb 3, 2024 Full Review Matthew Turner Action Reloaded Willa Holland has terrific screen presence – she was always the best thing about the Arrow TV show – and she’s on magnificent form here Rated: 3/5 Jan 26, 2024 Full Review Stephanie Malone Morbidly Beautiful You don’t have to be a Southern girl like me to appreciate the poignancy and craftsmanship of The Dirty South; there’s plenty here to resonate and captivate anyone who loves a good character-driven thriller. Rated: 4/5 Jan 7, 2024 Full Review Tony Asankomah GhMovieFreak While the film may not break new ground in the genre, it succeeds in delivering a solid and entertaining experience. Rated: 6/10 Dec 26, 2023 Full Review Laura Hiros Rincón de cine Written and directed by Matthew Yerby. The Dirty South is about the trap of the South, and the strength of certain women who have the ability to take the reins of a game that has them buried, and somehow survive the attempt.

John U Used to trust Rotten tomatoes for honest ratings, last few things I have Watched based on the ratings and the first few reviews tells me they are paying for good ratings . As for this film, very poor acting, dialogue and script, I would stay clear. As for Rotten Tomatoes we’ll time to use another more honest review site, any recommendations welcome. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Nelson F Very entertaining movie. Willa is fantastic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review Audience Member Good movie definitely a good choice 👍 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review anita g Surprisingly fresh. Come for the music. Stay for the acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review Mark J This was a pretty good movie. Willa was awesome! Quick paced, great storyline! I recommend it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Jelisije J One of those films where you have plenty of interesting characters being smushed together in a short run time that you would be better off having a tv series instead to give justice to the characters and its story. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
