  • Madonna's directorial debut Filth and Wisdom received mixed reviews on the festival circuit. In both their reviews, Emanuel Levy and Variety's Leslie Felperin found the script an "ineptly written," "undisciplined mess."Emanuel Levy: Filth and Wisdom Review Variety: Filth and Wisdom Review (February 14, 2008)

    Felperin thought the movie was "poorly structured," despite praising the music and Eugene Hutz's performance. Levy wrote that Filth had "enough energy and rough edges" to keep it interesting, but argued that Madonna's "penchant for having her characters do outlandish things for very little purpose" hurt the movie overall.Emanuel Levy: Filth and Wisdom Review Variety: Filth and Wisdom Review (February 14, 2008)

    The Hollywood Reporter's Ray Bennett admitted the movie was "all over the place," but found it "oddly appealing" enough to warrant a positive review.The Hollywood Reporter: Filth and Wisdom Review (February 14, 2008)
