Dirty Beautiful

If you go looking for trouble, you're bound to find it. The movie's an enjoyable watch but you'll need some suspension of disbelief as there's NO way any man should ever be so lonely as to put up with all the drama and mental illness that this woman provides. It's something sick that you can't truly call "love"

Tim Bartell's 'Dirty Beautiful' is a charming indie film that has the bonus of being edited by Daniel Raim. I wasn't sure about the film's beginning, but then 'Dirty Beautiful' dug its heels in and through a tightening narrative managed to really engage emotionally and convey its sweet heartwarming spirit. There seems to be a yearning in the filmmaker's vision to see through a caring but dysfunctional relationship, and this kind of relatability to real life may provoke some viewers to actually ask themselves, if caught in such a scenario: should I stay or should I go? Watch and find out!

This was such a treat. I love this kind of tales and filmmaking where you can really feel the characters and their struggles but also have a good time. I especially loved the lead actor and the camera work is beautiful! Looking forward to seeing more work by Bartell.

The characters are interesting but a lot of their choices sort of felt unrealistic. It was an interesting setup/storyline but didn't feel like it really paid off in the end. It was very well shot and the performances were enjoyable. Worth a watch for sure!

To all you cats and kittens who've tangled in the web of toxic love, man, let me tell ya, Dirty Beautiful hit me like a freight train on a midnight highway. It cut through the haze of pretense and laid bare the brutal truth. Now, I ain't saying we're all out here setting fire to cars and breaking windows, but the heart of this flick, that's something we've all danced with.

You see, it's a two-way street, baby. This wild ride, it takes two to tango down the rabbit hole of insanity. And in that chaotic dance, I couldn't tell whose side I was on. She, with her reckless abandon, an agent of chaos. And him, oh man, he's the puppet master, pulling the strings of control. They both waltz over the edge, but they keep coming back for more, like some magnetic force pulling 'em together.

It's the kind of crazy that hits close to home, you dig? We've all been there, lost in the whirlwind of passion and madness. The performances, man, they're like jazz notes in a smoky club. Real, raw, and ripping at your soul. The words they sling, they feel like they were plucked straight from the annals of real-life turmoil.

When those elements sync up, brother, you get an energy that's off the charts. I'm telling you, this flick, it's a trip you gotta take. So, do yourself a favor, and don't miss out. I can't sing its praises loud enough, my friends.
