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 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.

I just love **James McAvoy**, fantastic work from him; he made the movie - not litteraly, but he's acting did it. If we get a little bit closer to movie, then I can say that - are you like pornographic material? Are you a wanker and dick joke lover? As of interested to get taken down by some cocain and some grape juice? Than movie is for you. Okey, okey. No more jokes. **Simply brilliant, I can say just that.**

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.

A movie with a difficult story and interesting plot. A gift for the cast and a McAvoy who performs great.

Don't watch it if you don't have a deep skin and tons of sense of humor since it is quite disturbing but enjoyable at times ...

Quite an example of the humor in UK but not just that ...
