Briar Patch (alternatively titled Plain Dirty) is a 2002 American romantic thriller drama film directed by Zev Berman, starring Dominique Swain, Henry Thomas, Arie Verveen, James Urbaniak and Karen Allen. [1]
Contactmusic.com gave the film a rating of 2/5 wrote, "This boring melodrama has little going for it, proving once again that no one will ever give Swain the chance to appear in a movie that doesn't suck out loud." [2]
Film Threat wrote that the film is "so bleak that it actually fails to satisfy, and sympathy is hard to come by for any of the characters, let alone Inez." [3]
Scott Foundas of Variety called the film a "Southern Gothic melodrama so deep-fried you can just about feel your arteries hardening", and wrote that it "might have worked as a rollicking Tennessee Williams send-up, if only the filmmakers weren’t so unwaveringly straight-faced." [4]
