Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Welsh-born actor Michael Sheen gives a flat-out bravura performance in Dirty Filthy Love, as a talented man who finds his wife, job, and friends falling away when the symptoms of Tourette's Syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder take over his life. During his downward spiral, he's spotted as a fellow sufferer by a humorous, numbers-obsessed woman (Shirley Henderson) who drafts him into her support group—at least, temporarily. A love story emerges from this, albeit an extremely offbeat one. It sometimes seems that the OCD angle is the only new thing carrying the movie, which makes it feel like a low-budget Woody Allen outing with a more severe neurotic diagnosis. Still, Henderson (Wonderland, Wilbur) is always good, the London locations are quietly atmospheric, and the stocky dynamo Sheen doesn't try to sweeten up the less savory aspects of his character. Every twitch and bark come from some specific place of anguish. --Robert Horton Average Rating:
 Rating: - Dirty Filthy Love- a film worth watchingDirty Filthy Love, a BBC television movie directed by Adrian Shergold and co-written by Jeff Pope and Ian Puleston-Davies is a superbly played portrayal of life with faulty brain wiring. It is billed by some as a comedy, but that is a misnomer. In our daily negotiations with spouses, roommates and bosses, there are funny moments and ridiculous interactions and these are seen in the film. But the script doesn't play out for laughs, and the humor arises from the natural foibles of being human. Underneath ...

With a title like 'Dirty filthy love' one could be forgiven for thinking this was a porn movie. Far from it, this movie is acting at its very best. Michael Sheen has the viewer captivated and sharing so many human emotions. Its a clever clever little movie refreshingly different about obsessive compulsive disorder with a comedic slant. Shirley Henderson as only she can do makes it even more addictive ... Read More Rating:  - okay movieKind of disturbing. The movie itself is okay if you are not personally affected by somebody with TS. For me it was too personal as I have a child with TS and it seems "gloom and doom" If you do get it and you have a teen with TS, I wouldn't let them watch it. Rating: - You pervert!You saw that title jump off the shelf and you said "ooohh". Sorry, no nastiness in that vein. Rats. But what you get is the story of a poor soul tormented by the twin afflictions of Tourette's and OCD(they do stem from the same brain problem evidently) who is trying to get over his divorce. It's alternately comic and tragic as we watch Mark lurch from healing to dementia when he meets Charlotte, a fellow OCD sufferer who coaxes Mark into a self-help group composed of other OCD patients. A real knockout performance ... Read More Rating: - Sheen of RealityMichael Sheen, so good playing Tony Blair in THE QUEEN, is even better here as an architect who goes over the edge as OCD and Tourettes Syndrome tighten their grip on him. In a last desperate attempt to save his career and his marriage (to Stevie, played by Anastasia Griffith in a sort of combination Kari Matchett-goes-ABBA blonde hauteur), our boy joins a self-help group run by Charlotte (Shirley Henderson), herself a girl with plenty of neurological problems all her own. The movie is a bit of a mess, earnest, mawkish ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
