Filth

James McAvoy is apparently one of the greatest actors ever, or a legit crazy person. It's kind of hard to tell in Filth because it's so unlike any role he's played before. Filth to the max.

Going to have nightmares about pig people for years.

This is a very good representation of transgressive fiction. It pushes boundaries in a way that most people would be very uncomfortable with. It pushes them in ways that make you think, unlike most films that 'push boundaries' with masses of blood and gore. It's not a 'comfortable' film by any stretch, but it is a GOOD film. It needs to be watched.

The main character - played brilliantly by James McAvoy - is a racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic arsehole, and he's incredibly mentally disturbed. What was most interesting to me was the way in which his friends, family and co-workers reacted to his increasingly volatile mental state. It is, I think, a mirror of how mental and personality disorders are treated by the general population.

Ultimately, - although the ending is debated - I feel that perhaps those that would care for him came too late to change his mind about himself, or perhaps he just didn't care.

A wild ride into the mind of a deranged man. Uncomfortable, disgusting, funny and a stellar performance by James McAvoy

A deliciously depraved little film, with a knockout performance from McAvoy about a diseased mind manipulating all around him to get an unreserved promotion. It's nihilistic, funny and at times gross. The fever dream style keeps it padded really quick too. Imagine Trainspotting with a deranged detective.

This was really good! It might appeal more towards the male population, but definitely worth a watch.

I was anxiously waiting for Filth for a long time. I had high expectations about it and probably the idea that the trailer gave me was of a different film than Filth actually is. It's a great story for sure but I was expecting something more shocking like the trailer suggests. All of the supposed shocking moments are in the trailer.

Bruce is a bipolar policeman addicted to drugs and sex. He is corrupt, depraved, manipulative and well, filthy. He is trying to get a promotion at work but if he doesn't get it his wife and daughter, that left their house, will not come back to him.

This story was written by the same man who wrote the amazing Trainspotting, Irvine Walsh. Trainspotting had the hability to make me feel uncomfortable and shocked by every single moment that I was watching, sadly Filth doesn't cause me the same effect throughout the whole film and for that reason I wish Danny Boyle had directed this film. Don't get me wrong, it's a solid film but not as good as I expected. It starts as a dark comedy and slowly becomes a serious drama. It's entertaining since the very beginning but unfortunately was a little messy sometimes. I would like to say that I loved it but I just enjoyed it.

There's not a single bad performance in this film, all of the cast was very strong but now I have to mention the man of this film, James McAvoy. He is absolutely brilliant! If it wasn't for his performance my rating would be less high. He certainly is one of the best actors of his generation.

If I had to resume this film in a word, that word would be McAvoy. And for him alone I would recommend this film to everyone because he totally makes this film worth it!

I can wait to see it

Read the book when it came out and my memory is foggy but the movie doesn't remind me of much. I found this movie extremely shallow McAvoy is a good actor but Bruce is ridiculous and one dimensional. The story is a load of boring juvenile scenes.

This film tried to be five different films and ended up doing none of them well. I wanted to really like it, and at times I did. I was pretty indifferent by the time it ended.
