Dirty Beautiful

The life from David does change as soon as he is meeting this crazy, childish, adventurous woman who turns him into a more lovely guy. Together with her he experiences a real roller coaster of emotions and their time together brings lots of ups and downs in their lives as well because she likes David but at the beginning she must clarify her relationship with another man who as soon as she meets David she spontaneously radically drops him off (her first guy) from her life and decides to begin the adventure with the sensitive David who believes her and lets her into his life, now knowing what is about to happen. As soon as he lets her into his home and spends his time with her, he realizes that she is a bit crazy in her own way but she also falls in love with him and it takes time until David expresses his emotions towards her that's why she seems a bit frustrated and so arguments appear but their time together in silence proofs that love is what we feel not what we talk. So they soon understand their connection and begin to truly feel for each other. I definitely like this film. Also the acting performances are realistic and so very good.

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!

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 film is excellent! The conundrum that fuels this funny/tragic story is all too familiar to anyone who's been in a toxic relationship (or a few). I so enjoyed how brutally honest Dirty Beautiful is. While the behaviors that fuel the chaos in the film touch on the extreme, the premise is entirely relatable for most of us: it takes two to make a relationship crazy. And I honestly couldn't tell who I sided with more in the relationship. She's an agent of chaos. He's an agent of control. Both cross every line, but they just spiral back inward, toward each other. Like some primal magnet. Again--relatable. The performances are really, really good and so much of the dialogue felt like it must have been pulled from some very real experiences. Both of those things working in harmony brought about a superb energy. I can't recommend it highly enough.
