From the authentic performances, beautiful scenery, fantastic music, and relatable storyline, I was wonderfully surprised. First time director Matthew Yerby orchestrated this stellar cast to create real life performances not characters. Dermot Mulroney is fantastic as the big bad in the story. It's an age-old question where families are constantly struggling to save the house they grew up in, or the farm they tilled for generations, or the business that the family owned for decades. In this case, it's a bar on a bayou in north Louisiana run by Sue Parker and her lazy alcoholic father Gary. A bartender with a heart - and scruples - Sue puts in a full night until 3 a.m. And then gets up to take care of her 10-year-old brother and get him to school. Their father is not much help. In fact, the father is far behind in payments on the bar, and local land baron Jeb Roy is threatening to buy the place unless they can come up with $30,000 in 72 hours. Into the pub walks a mysterious guy with two women who work the bar for lots of loose wallets. Sue watches as they pick-pocket the customers and steal their money. Outside, Sue confronts this mysterious stranger who introduces himself as Dion. She wonders if he can help her get $30,000 in that short amount of time. She knows the area, and she knows the people on the other side of the tracks who have all the money in the world. But, how far will Sue go for it? And will she help with the scams.

This film deserves zero stars. Literally every character was a POS. The main characters, Sue and her boyfriend Dion are bottom of the barrel, small time, inept criminals, stealing from people and murdering them. Amazingly, the filmmakers try to sell them to us as heroes. As the story moves forward, we're shown the hopes and dreams of these theiving murderers, which is intended to make them sympathetic characters. F U to the milk face idiots who thought we'd be cool with two scumbag losers murdering and stealing and having the film treat these acts as though they're justified and praise worthy. Speaking as someone who has associated with small time low life criminals on a professional basis, I find it disgusting. Only filmmakers raised in a privileged, protected bubble are silly enough to try and justify stealing from and murdering innocent people as righteous acts of downtrodden proletarians. They even get a happy ending. I'd give them a happy ending alright. If I could choose the ending, I'd give them cancer, then have someone curb stomp them and drop a deuce in their mouth. This film is total effing garbage. GTFOOH with this BS.

F U to the milk face idiots who thought we'd be cool with hillbillies murdering and stealing and having the film treat these acts as though they're justified and praise worthy. To this we have to also address the extreme boredom that accompanies anyone who watches this film. Just awful. Don't even get me started on the many nonsensical plot points... it kinda felt like the film was written by people that had no knowledge of the game or their environment.

Absolutely loved The Dirty South! From the authentic performances, beautiful scenery, fantastic music, and relatable storyline, I was wonderfully surprised. First time director Matthew Yerby orchestrated this stellar cast to create real life performances not characters. Dermot Mulroney is fantastic as the big bad in the story. My favorite character from My Best Friend's Wedding was nowhere to be seen. Shane West was perfect as the dreamy drifter grifting his way through small towns. Willa Holland was amazing as the female lead. I'm used to seeing Willa in spoiled rich girl roles and her character Sue Parker is the furthest one could get from that. She is a badass without the cliche that generally accompanies this type of role. Highly recommend!
