Reviews & comments
Time Out
pressOverall, Bleed For This is difficult to dislike: the story may be hokey but it’s real, and so is the sentiment behind it.
The Telegraph
pressKeeps you squarely in your seat, but barely once excites you enough to leap up out of it.
The Guardian
pressFor all its smashed open cuts and swollen eye sockets, Younger’s film remains an oddly sterile experience. For a biopic, it is remarkably featureless.
Hollywood Reporter
pressA gritty, pungently Rhode Island working class-set boxing drama that connects with most of its punches.
Empire Magazine
pressIt 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.
