Dirty Filthy Love


Synopsis

A talented man finds his wife, job, and friends falling away when the symptoms of Tourette’s Syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder take over his life. During his downward spiral, he’s spotted as a fellow sufferer by a humorous, numbers-obsessed woman who drafts him into her support group – at least, temporarily. A love story emerges from this, albeit an extremely offbeat one.

Reviews

The cast is rock solid. Sheen does a phenomenal job of making Mark’s condition funny and frightening in turns… This is a tour de force performance, accurate in showing what OCD looks like without going overboard or hamming it up. The actor takes Mark further and further into the abyss as the character’s life spirals out of control. Sheen’s focus and attention to detail in portraying the affliction is masterful
