Unfortunately the tired melodramatic romance at the core has the loudest voice. July 19, 2020 ...as a film, Dirt Music leaves us stuck in the mud. The passive and compliant abandonment of her aspirations, goals and the experiences she looked forward to in her life was erased like a sandcastle at high tide. The double-edged sword is that Pedersen’s realness heightens the nonsense struggles of the characters that surround him. July 18, 2020 July 18, 2020
Dirt Music fails in its romance, scope, and rules of its fairytale portrayal.
Because none of the core elements work, it just completely fell apart for me. Director Gregor Jordan paints a nice picture, but that's about it. Nothing really typical about Dirt Music. Aaron Pedersen (the essential cop on T.V in 2020) pops up as boating mechanic Beaver. July 20, 2020
