Bill Goodykoontz
"Filth" lives up to its title and then some, but a no-holds performance by James McAvoy is reason enough to watch.
Bob Mondello
Credit the filmmakers with descending persuasively into the swampy squalor of a diseased mind. If you're in the mood to go there with them, Filth offers an indecently bracing wallow.
Bilge Ebiri
I'm not sure I can recommend the movie, but this actor and this performance are something to behold.
John Semley
Viewers hungry for a catch-all dose of Welshian sardonicism would be better served checking out Trainspotting. Better soundtrack, for one.
Linda Barnard
Unlike Jude Law's similarly offensive title character in Dom Hemingway, McAvoy is given a far better story to work from.
Stephen Holden
After a certain point, watching it is like listening to the ravings of an increasingly incoherent and abusive drunk.

Tom Keogh
Exhausting in its relentless depravity, "Filth" nevertheless is reminiscent of a much better movie also adapted from a novel by Irvine Welsh: Danny Boyle's 1996 "Trainspotting."
User reviews
AMAZING! Truly one of the great actors of of our time in his prime. The feelings and moments that he goes through in this movie everyone has gone through in some small or entire way. Poniente movie about the gritty mental side of of your dark mindseye. The momoents and thoughts you dont want to think about. Not everyone is a good person. Yet we all think we are. Brilliant. Makes you think.

MacAvoy at his best Based on the titular book, James MacAvoy gives a gut-wrenching performance. He embodies the "protagonist", a wretched, witty, loathsome detective haunted by his demons and trying to cope by turning his coworkers' lives upside down. Honestly one of my favorite MacAvoy movies, maybe THE favorite. And I've been a fan since his turn as Leto Atreides in the miniseries version of "Children of Dune".
Very GooD Movie This was a surprisingly really good movie didnt expect what happen at the end with two parts n James mcavoy INCREDIBLE acting haven't seen such great acting like that for awhile. But this movie is definitely worth to check out u will enjoy it very entertaining, bizarre, crazy, lots of wtf moments... great movie

The misadventures begin when Miles (Paul Giamatti), an un-recovered divorcé and would-be novelist with a wine fixation, decides to gift old college buddy and washed-up actor Jack (Thomas Haden Church) with a celebratory trip to the vineyards of the Santa Ynez Valley the week before Jack's wedding. The two couldn't be an odder couple. Jack is an over-sexed charmer; Miles is a sad-sack worrier. Jack is looking for his "last taste of freedom"; Miles just wants to taste perfection in a bottle. Jack is fine with cheap Merlot; Miles pines for the elusive, perfect Pinot. Indeed, the only thing they seem to share in common is the same heady mix of failed ambitions and fading youth. And yet, as they make their way up the coast, Miles and Jack soon find themselves drowning in wine and women. Both men careen dangerously and comically toward mid-life crises. Now, the wedding approaches and with it the certainty that Miles and Jack won't make it back to Los Angeles unscathed or unchanged...if they get back there at all.
