"Teller is terrific, which should come as no surprise to “Whiplash” fans..."

—

Variety

"Overall, Bleed For This is difficult to dislike: the story may be hokey but it’s real, and so is the sentiment behind it."

—

Time Out

"Keeps you squarely in your seat, but barely once excites you enough to leap up out of it."

—

The Telegraph

"For all its smashed open cuts and swollen eye sockets, Younger’s film remains an oddly sterile experience. For a biopic, it is remarkably featureless."

—

The Guardian

"A gritty, pungently Rhode Island working class-set boxing drama that connects with most of its punches."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"It may be predictable, but Bleed For This still grabs with its astonishing against-all-odds true story, and its belter of a central performance from Miles Teller."
