Leave your thoughts about The Bachelors.
| Film Journal InternationalSimi HorwitzThe story is simple [...] and the acting is brilliant, but the pace and style of The Bachelors may be too depressing to appeal to the Instagram set. |
| Shockya.comHarvey S. KartenJ.K. Simmons plays a poignant role of a grieving father who, together with his son, seek love after a family death. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickThe character [Josh Wiggins and Odey Arush] play and the relationship they develop are honest and poignant in the best sense, which is a good description of the film as a whole. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonThe emotional authenticity is compromised by familiarity and contrived catharsis. |
| Film InquiryAlex ArabianThe Bachelors is a scarcity of a film, one that transcends several genres to create an affecting orotundity through its singular voice. |
| Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersDeftly balancing humor and grief, The Bachelors is fueled by wonderfully human performances and fully realized characters. |
| Observer (UK)Simran HansThere's a corny metaphor about cross-country running and the catharsis that comes from pushing through the pain of loss, but strong central performances mean that this is still moving stuff. |
| Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweVoelker excels at guiding the cast through some complicated emotional territory and maintains strong arcs for each of the principal characters. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabThe main recommendation here is another nuanced and affecting performance from JK Simmons, one of the best character actors in contemporary American cinema. |
| Times (UK)Kevin MaherDesperately struggling to shake off the coming-of-age genre straitjacket, The Bachelors promises early on to be something different. |
