Mean Creek Ratings & Reviews
- Johan PotgieterDecember 6, 2025The story was a good one. The issue I have with it, is that most movies these days tries to "humanize" the bullies in society so we will feel bad for them. We all have issues and want to lash out but we don't. They should not get a pass because they make bad decisions. The acting was excellent, especially Josh, Rory and Scott.
- CoougeSeptember 23, 2025Good movie but just as things started to get interesting, the movie ends.
- Tyler SJanuary 29, 2025👍👍 8/10
