Remarkable as much for its insights as for its audacity, The Dirties approaches school violence with a comic veneer that slowly shades into deep darkness.
Engaging this movie is like jumping into the deep end of a cold pool. You just do it and yell for a second, but once you are in you'll want to swim around.
The Dirties feels authentic all the way through, and it carries a bitter punch. It is a slight movie in terms of actual events that happen, but it grapples with some giant ideas and emotions in a very effective way.
As Johnson enters Columbine-style turf, a clearer slant on our modern mindset is required than the one he offers.
The Dirties is as provocative as it is sloppily messy in its themes.
The message, like the filmmaking, seems fuzzy and unfocused.
