Spoiler-Free Review: Pure Scum (2025)

Official synopsis After a drug-fueled car crash, two entitled private-school graduates flee into Melbourne’s nightlife, where a night of excess spirals out of control and exposes the cost of their privilege. Review Often genre films that deliberately feature despicable, unlikable main characters with no one for whom to truly root offer little to no reason for viewers to get invested.

Pure Scum involves news magazine-type interviews with family and friends of the two young men taking place after the fateful night where
