    Exceptionally made drama about a homesick guy's first 2 years at an out of state college. Very talky. Similar to the movie "Before Sunrise". Loved it.

    What a emotion does this movie have, Cooper Raiff is instantely one of my favorite directors. This movie has it flaws, but the highs are insanely high. That phonecall with his mom, heartbroken. This movie feels so realistic, i think everybody who goes to college has some time like this, such a great movie.

    It was better than I thought it was going to be. The title, and to some degree the description, led me to expects some stupid, college frat slapstick comedy. While there was a small bit of that stupid stuff, it was mostly about a distraught youth finding his way. Heartwarming, actually.

    Shithouse is Raiff's clever indie gem debut. A modern college based romantic comedy full of sensitivity and wittiness. Don't let the brash title deceive you, this is all about familiar feelings. This is the shit.

    You rarely see movies that can touch human emotions on a basic level. I really enjoyed this movie, and related to a lot of parts. The movie has laughter, sadness, surprise everything. Everyone should watch this movie, even though not relatable, it will help one understand what humans go through in real lives.

    This is a beautiful movie. It's so brutally honest and heartfelt. Shithouse lives and breathes through Cooper Raiff - director, writer, and star. Each scene is so carefully done and either gut wrenching or butterfly inducing. This movie transported me into these characters' college world so successfully I had a weird come down back to earth after watching it. To top it off - the soundtrack could not have been better. Amazing movie.

    Great coming of age college story! Loved the cast, if you like more slow character building, intense in story films then this is for you! Would recommend to anyone who likes A24 & IFC style films

    There's something beautiful about the simplicity of this movie. It seems like it'll be a college comedy about a frat house but instead it's a character study on two people who are struggling in different ways. The chemistry between the leads is fantastic and their dialogue is refreshingly realistic, as is where their relationship eventually goes.

    A lot of attention to detail and honesty. Most characters feeling very much like people I've met. Not exactly revolutionary, but very much on point. Extra quarter-star for how hard it must be to make a decent movie in this shithouse environment. 4.25/5

    Following an overwhelmingly awkward and almost anti-social charachter, the story is smartly constructed to show a gracefully empathetic look at today's american colossal(ly lost) youth.
