Filthy Animals

After 50 years of living in the South Bay this movie comes closest to capturing San Pedro, Palos Verdes and the beach cities. It's a beautiful movie that captures interesting and flawed characters. The energy and realism was very captivating. The craziness and mixed messages is captured very well. The music reflected the story and followed the pace and led the story so it made it feel perfectly woven together. The characters really fed off of each other. The guys Lars and Freddy have great chemistry as if they were brothers and can read each others minds. My favorite character was the Baba. The humor and cowboy elements really made this movie unique. The strip club was my favorite scene.

I enjoyed this film. Some of the writing is a little rough, and it's clearly a low-budget effort, but the treatment of the subject matter felt fresh, and the director's voice and aesthetic seemed to come from an authentic place. The genre is a bit of a mash-up that you might call dark stoner dramedy. The film balances its darker, more unsettling moments with quirky humor, creating a unique tonal blend that sets it apart. If you're open to work that can feel simultaneously pop and bizarre, with a willingness to explore its imperfections, this film is absolutely worth a viewing. I look forward to North's next effort.

A Fantastic Film. FA features a very cool blend of genres and very fun references to other films sprinkled throughout. I really enjoyed the chemistry of the two main characters. Its fun at times. Messed up at times. Cool sounds and visuals too! The spaghetti western film within the film is a fun ride. It was shot very well and one can tell a lot of thought and love went into its production. There's a really neat blend of music in it as well. Some horror vibes as well as punk and western flairs. Also some really neat dreamy music as well. This all adds up to a very unique and entertaining film about a very intense subject matter. Definitely recommended.

This movie is unique, entertaining, and unpredictable which is nice. It's better that a lot of the content on the streamers and tent pole theatricals. The cinematography is well done. I loved the chemistry between the two male leads and the mysteriousness and craziness of the female lead. Without spoiling anything, I got satisfaction from the way the sexual predators were dealt with. It was cool seeing Raymond J. Barry who usually plays a father or a cop in most movies (Tom Cruise' dad on Born on the Fourth of July) and shows (Arlo in Justified) play a totally different character. The dream sequences are awesome. The variety of locations and interesting characters was fun. I hope one of the streamers turns this into a series because I'd love to spend more time with the characters and see more of their mission. The Bella character could even get her own show. This isn't really a holiday movie although the story happens on Christmas Eve/Day, but I will definitely make watching this a new holiday tradition.

Fresh faces take on a tough subject with a twist. Love the tour of the South Bay added a lot to the movie. Certain comedic element add it to the overall presentation. Independent film hit it over the fence with the first pitch. The music score pace with a twist and turns in the film really enjoyed the music. I think they caught the essence of the South Bay, but that lay back feeling but serious intent. Period I would recommend this to my friends without hesitation, knowing that they would see the things that I saw And appreciate this film. If you're looking for something that's a little different than the regular run of the mill shop shop 50 filthy animals I don't think you'll be making us mistake.
