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.

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.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

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.

In spite of the harrowing details, the film builds compassion for even the most disturbing characters and scenes.

Chicago Sun-Times

Although Bad Hurt traffics in tough material, it is filled with little moments of heart.

Rated: 3.5/4

Los Angeles Times

Although affecting and well acted, the family drama "Bad Hurt" is too airless and depressing to fully engage.

Bad Hurt is a character-driven story with a great ensemble cast and some good emotional beats.

The Film Stage

[Bad Hurt shows] the truth is loud, violent, and unpredictable.

Cinemalogue

Despite some powerful moments as the characters work through various demons and secrets, the film feels more contrived than authentic, compromising the emotional impact.
