"Filth" lives up to its title and then some, but a no-holds performance by James McAvoy is reason enough to watch.

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.

I'm not sure I can recommend the movie, but this actor and this performance are something to behold.
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
Viewers hungry for a catch-all dose of Welshian sardonicism would be better served checking out Trainspotting. Better soundtrack, for one.
John Semley, Globe and Mail

Unlike Jude Law's similarly offensive title character in Dom Hemingway, McAvoy is given a far better story to work from.
