Review of Filth (2013) by Kriss T — 23 Oct 2013
Directing: Baird has made conscious decisions that have translated the book to the film very well.
Acting: McAvoy's brilliant playing against type and Marsan brings a likeable character to the film.
Script: From tough source material, Jon S. Baird produces a screenplay which fully does it justice.
Cinematography: The imagery resembles the title and brings out a shady side to Edinburgh.
Score: Goes slightly unnoticed due to the nature of the content but works all the same.
Editing: Moves the story along at pace.
Overall: McAvoy steals it as a character you love to watch. A good adaptation but won't be a classic.
