Leave your thoughts about Clean.
| The Film StageDan MeccaBrody is great here, his long face and animated eyes doing a lot of work. It’s a quiet performance, an arena where the actor has always excelled. Without doing much, we know Clean: who he is and who he’s trying to be. |
| Time OutStephen A. RussellA fitting tribute to a life well lived in spite of the overwhelming odds stacked against her, it is surely a sign of a remarkable woman that we are left wanting more. |
| The A.V. ClubJason ShawhanThis movie loves big, operatic gestures. At least visually, it lands them all. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerThere’s a rumbling, inconsolable guilt at the heart of Clean, the latest from fascinatingly flexible writer/director Paul Solet. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThere’s something to be said for a B-movie that doesn’t deviate from formula, that pulls you in to its simple “revenge” plot and doesn’t let go until the credits roll. |
| Slant MagazineMark HansonWhile its plot is strictly by the numbers, Clean is elevated by its stylistic flair and propulsive pace. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyClean has some real craft, but doesn’t quite satisfy as it toggles between bloodbaths and bathos. |
| RogerEbert.comChristy LemireAgain, merely watching Brody engaging in such painstaking work is interesting; the generic bloodbath that ensues, less so. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshClean is so lean, it’s as if the story itself was sacrificed for atmosphere. Clean brings the cold, moody vibes and extreme violence, but narratively, it’s a mess. |
| Screen RantNadir SamaraThe film is heavy-handed in its attempt to be subtle and even Brody’s score can’t save the day, but Clean has its moments. |
