Vulgar was quite an unexpected flick. From one of the best comedic film makers today, comes a very dark spirited flick that is not for the faint hearted. The acting was spectacular and made the movie seem almost too real. I... Full review

This film is famous for one disturbing scene, which is truly not THAT disturbing. The male rape scene in Vulgar is no worse than the one in Deliverance, except for the language. What we really have here is a "rags-to-riches" story... Full review
Strange. This is a film that is extremely easy to hate, but to me, I understood what it was going for and appreciated it for that.

Vulgar is simply horrible
There will be the very smart dialogue
Even if Vulgar wasn't vile, disgusting, and just plain unfunny, the sheer stupidity of the last half almost hurts.

Final thought: This would-be exploitation flick doesn't push Vulgar's much deserved vengeance NEARLY far enough.
The movie: It's incredibly noble, or perhaps just tragic, someone so miserable as Will ( Brian O'Halloran ) would pursue a career as a children's party clown with such tenacity.

The film fails on pretty much every level.....he saves the best, most realistic dialogue for the character he plays himself.....Even the soundtrack is so loud and grating it's physically painful....at the screening I was at, the director overrode the complaints of audience members demanding it be turned down..... ...

I wonder how time will treat Vulgar , one of the most unpleasant film experiences I have ever had.
Vulgar , directed by Bryan Johnson (who also appears as Carlson's best friend), is the most unfocused, amateurish mess I have seen in quite some time.
