Lonely Needy Guy Searching For Drama-Laden Insane Trainwreck Relationship

If you go looking for trouble, you're bound to find it. The movie's an enjoyable watch but you'll need some suspension of disbelief as there's NO way any man should ever be so lonely as to put up with all the drama and mental illness that this woman provides. It's something sick that you can't truly call "love"

Humor and Wit!

This was such a treat. I love this kind of tales and filmmaking where you can really feel the characters and their struggles but also have a good time. I especially loved the lead actor and the camera work is beautiful! Looking forward to seeing more work by Bartell.

Dirty Beautiful Perfect Title

Great title cleverly made funny comedy romance. I love guy movies the type of movies we can relate to especially if you have interest in relationships and writing like myself, if you like interesting characters in this movie you'll find some you probably know. The main character David is a hopeless romantic wanting a girlfriend, they say be careful for what you wish for wanting, great dialogue, honest with real life scenarios.

Boy meets girl...at an intersection

Tim Bartell's 'Dirty Beautiful' is a charming indie film that has the bonus of being edited by Daniel Raim. I wasn't sure about the film's beginning, but then 'Dirty Beautiful' dug its heels in and through a tightening narrative managed to really engage emotionally and convey its sweet heartwarming spirit. There seems to be a yearning in the filmmaker's vision to see through a caring but dysfunctional relationship, and this kind of relatability to real life may provoke some viewers to actually ask themselves, if caught in such a scenario: should I stay or should I go? Watch and find out!

Indie romantic dramedy

David, a struggling writer, meets Kat, who has a tragic past and an abusive ex-boyfriend. As they spend time together, David sees Kat's destructive behavior first-hand. And he is in over his head. They must change and grow to try and make it work. Great cinematography and interesting story. Well done.
