Leave your thoughts about Bad Hurt.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperAlthough Bad Hurt traffics in tough material, it is filled with little moments of heart. |
| Film Journal InternationalSimi HorwitzAn artfully drawn and beautifully acted film about a working-class family grappling with a drug-addicted ex-vet son and a mentally and physically challenged daughter. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonDespite some powerful moments as the characters work through various demons and secrets, the film feels more contrived than authentic, compromising the emotional impact. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakKemble takes great care to construct a tough Staten Island-raised, Irish-American history so each personal struggle depicted can be traced back and rendered authentic. |
| HollywoodInToto.comChristian TotoBad Hurt wallows in heartbreak, dashed dreams and death. So why is it uplifting all the same? |
| New York ObserverRex ReedIn spite of the harrowing details, the film builds compassion for even the most disturbing characters and scenes. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinAlthough affecting and well acted, the family drama Bad Hurt is too airless and depressing to fully engage. |
| Village VoiceSerena DonadoniGrief unleashes the possibility of change in this wrenching drama, allowing for an unexpected emotional thaw that rewards both stubborn optimism and traumatic resilience. |
| New York TimesGlenn KennyThroughout, the filmmakers live up to the movie’s title. But as the story comes to a close, they opt to wrap it in comforting cliché, and they turn a miserable but credible viewing experience into a confounding one. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerAn explosive family drama whose intense performances can't always compensate for such a heavy-handed scenario, Bad Hurt nonetheless marks a promising directorial debut from playwright Mark Kemble. |
