Click Here To Watch The Dirties (2013)

Review

I started watching this movie thinking it was going to have a lot more depth and emotion than it did. Matthew Johnson just seemed to portray a very hyperdoesn'tstoptalking and can't be still teen. Owen Johnson at least showed a more realistic traumatized teen. You could actually see more emotion in his character especially when the bullies were attacking him...he acted like any other bullied kid would looked down to the floor (like he just wanted the ground to open up and swallow him so he wouldn't have to bare the embarrassment or humiliation of being bullied...pretty much like most kids would act) didn't wanna be touchedfussed over when he'd been hit by a rock. Honestly if it wasn't for sheer curiosity and Owen Williams...I would not have watched this movie to the end as it is slow and boring in a lot of the parts and considering what the movie is supposed to be about....they don't seem to talk to each other or anyone for that matter about their actual feelings toward themselves being the target of bullies. They might ask others what their opinions of bullying are but they never actually talk about it themselves...their main goal is goofing around. And so you can never get deep into the subject. Which is a shame as I think if hit from a different angle and showed way more emotion than it actually did...this could have really hit home
