Watch Filth For Free

Too much of everything

Memorable, crazy movie

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

When the protagonist is the antagonistWow, a movie suits the title so much. What a filth movie, with a filth story, about a filth behaviour that will impress anyone who watch it. They really did it in a great way. This movie is about a human version of betrayal. Corruption, deceiving, backstabbing, manipulation, lie, malicious madness act that one person owns. What you think of a trusted perfect friend, doesn't always appear that way. Some of the scenes might not be comfortable for some people, yet it is necessary to show how corrupted a human can be. It is vulgar, yes, the rating is there for a reason. But it is an honest exploration of a damage person when he catches the mental illness, a defense mechanism for the denial of a reality he can not bear, and it leads him to be the evil person. The story itself, i'm gonna say it's a dark comedy. It is so very dark and so very wrong, and it becomes a comedy. It is funny in some way, but in the same time it is also disturbing in another way. James McAvoy delivers the deep message very well with such a strong performance, that will build a love-hate relationship for the lead role. You will hate him for all the thing he did, yet you can understand why he did it. All the madness is so realistic portrayed by the actor. And in the end, we can only feel pitiful to the lead role. I didn't expect the plot twist of the ending, it is so depressing. It leaves me speechless.

I absolutely loved this film, it was unexpected, gross, violent yet it had an incredible charm, specially to people who like very intense, deep emotions and that like to emotionally merge with a character. What I didn't like is that the summary (and also other websites) wrote about Bruce having BPD (borderline personality disorder) which I think is completely wrong because there's no part in the movie that says so and because he clearly displays bipolar, sociopath and even schizophrenia traits. As a BPD clinical diagnosed person I strongly believe the Borderline mention is wrong.

I May Be Late In Watching Filth And May Love James Mcavoy But I Must Say This Was One Hell Of A Movie! Loved It, Laughed It And Felt It!!!! Loved Every Character But The Wife. I Had To Read Most Of The Movie's Caption Due To The Obvious Language Barrier: Scotland Vs Texas!?!? But I Truly Laughed My Ass Off During Most Of The Film; Yes, Including The Very Last Moment. THANKS FILTH!!!!•••SIDENOTE, SIDELINE, SIDE SALAD, SIDEBAR: JAMES MCAVOY - My future ex-husband; has a striking resemblance to a picture I saw once of someone, somewhere; and also has my daughters eyes (blue)••• •••So get your restraining order ready because I'm coming to Scotland •••

How this film didn't do better is somewhat puzzling, but then again, it's also nice to see a film to held in high regard get slagged for not living up to it's potential. But I still loved this flick despite the structural weaknesses in plot that arise from trying to re-write source material to be more palatable a la' Kick-Ass 2. Still, as someone who has first-hand experience of the sort of world this movie inhabits (mental-instability in military-institutions such as a police force) I gotta say this film nails it. James MacAvoy is great, but he also has a great cast to support him. Everyone in real-space gives Bruce Robertson the kind of reactions that are a subtle hint that they know something's going on upstairs, but understand how pointless it is to engage the beast within. The pacing works well with Bruce Robertson's descent into desolation and sells the portrayal very well. Still, the source material (of which I am not immediately familiar) seems to be somewhat lacking here, it would definitely have helped to make the ending what it needed to be (plus who doesn't want to see a hanging cop evacuate a tapeworm?) I found that the whole tone at the end to be uneven in proportion to real-space (how is he in trouble?!! He essentially solved the murder, as opposed to being the murderer like he was in the book!!!) Bruce occupies. I would've accepted him committing suicide even if he got the promotion, such is the beast that is bipolar personality disorder. It's these details that I believe ate up the pure star power here. I can't hate this film, I actually found myself in love with the heart put into this film, albeit a capricious heart the likes of Bruce Robertson. Sometimes a movie doesn't need much more, and this movie is such an example.
