By the end of the film, I was quite enjoying spending some time with them, despite wanting so badly to flee the scene at the beginning of the film. I suppose that, once in a while, an acquired taste proves all the more satisfying. Go to Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International Jan 26
The film refuses to go in predictable directions, unveiling bizarre side characters and travelling down odd narrative backroads. But that occasional bagginess also allows for a richly textured picture bursting with energy. Go to Full Review Carlos Aguilar Variety Jan 25
Sure, the case can be made for this contrast between scatological humor and serious insight working as a mirror for how quickly a person’s reality can shift from joy to sorrow, but the overall effect is puzzling. Go to Full Review Rosa Parra The Latino Slant 7h

The Shitheads is one of the festival’s surprises. This is fun, entertaining, and a palate cleanser after seeing a lot of heavy subject films. It’s a hilarious film featuring unexpected situations and strong performances from Jackson and Franco. Go to Full Review James Preston Poole Discussing Film 5d
