Although Bad Hurt traffics in tough material, it is filled with little moments of heart. Go to Full Review
Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 02/11/2016
Although affecting and well acted, the family drama "Bad Hurt" is too airless and depressing to fully engage. Go to Full Review

04/13/2016 I was in this for Theo Rossi, but not a bad movie. I felt uncomfortable and sad the entire time but I was probably supposed to. See more 02/27/2016 Just unwatchable rubbish. See more 02/20/2016 "AUTHENTIC | DEPRESSING | INTENSE | POWERFUL" (94-out-of-100) See more 02/18/2016 Extremely melodramatic, this is one of those films that blasts characters with so much misery that it feels contrived and inauthentic. It's not helped by over-the-top performances that are out of a stageplay, bordering on unintentional comedy. See more 02/12/2016 An 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. See more 07/21/2015 Amazing. I got to see it at the Berkshire Film Festival See more Read all reviews
