It pales in comparison to the recent epic saga tweeted by Aziah King about two strippers' unapologetic road trip from Detroit to Tampa, Fla., that went viral on the Internet.

The Hollywood Reporter

Despite its non-exploitative approach to its subject, the film... is too schematic and obvious to have the desired impact.

Tribune News Service

Biel turns in a fine performance as the unlikely violent hero, but Mamet excels in a role far different than her Shoshanna on HBO's Girls.

AWFJ.org

Featuring two strong central performances from Biel and Mamet, Bell mines the depths of sibling relationships to present a taught, well-observed dramatic thriller that makes the most of the talent involved.

The Film Stage

Bleeding Heart takes subject matter deserving of mature, thoughtful treatment and distorts reality into a series of soap opera clichs.

Rated: C-

If anything, this reminds me how much I'd like to see both Anderson and Biel - hell, even Mamet - in a better film than this.

Rated: 3/10

I thought it was a pretty entertaining film with decent acting and storyline but the ending was over the top to say the least.

Very Unrealistic. You are going to dump your whole life and ruin it for a sister you just met. Yeah okay...

A really great movie. I can’t understand the low rating for this movie. An extremely relevant movie in these times.

A fairly deep storyline with a dark atmosphere throughout, but has very little interest value.

I was deeply moved by the acting and the serious approach of this movie. I have been in an abusive relationship and I know others who have too. I found this depicted realistically and with a lot of insight and heart. Really great. Hard subject.
