When BELLA realizes her mentally ill uncle/stepfather GORDY hid her college acceptance letter, she kicks him out of the house for the last time... so she thinks. When her mother YEVA allows Gordy back, Bella and her pocket squirrel BANDIT bolt to NYC with no money, no friends, no roof, and too much pride to turn back. With help from MARTA, an undocumented immigrant, OWAIS, a lonely vet, and STANDRICK, an insecure designer, Bella thrives, until she discovers an unlikely and horrifying connection. This revelation propels Bella to act without consulting her new "found family" and the results are devastating. Bella and her friends concoct a dark dangerous plan to break free from Gordy forever. The plan works, then fails, then works, and then fails. It finally corrects itself with the help of the unlikeliest person, but in the most heart-wrenching, tragic way.

Tom Jolliffe Flickering Myth Bound is definitely a film worth checking out, with first-rate performances from top to bottom and an engaging and emotionally powerful story. Not always an easy watch with its hard-hitting themes, but the film has so much sincerity. Rated: 4/5 Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Films like Bound are great examples of what true independent filmmaking should look like. Rated: 8.5/10 Nov 14, 2024 Full Review Q.V. Hough Vague Visages “‘Bound,’ the feature directorial debut from actor Isaac Hirotsu Woofter, spotlights the struggles of fringe society characters but falls apart with its confusing editing and narrative structure.” May 24, 2024 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse "Bound" navigates some writing challenges and a crowded cast, yet it vividly portrays society's outskirts, offering realism and entertainment in equal measure. Rated: 6.5 Apr 14, 2024 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …Bound is a uniformly well-acted and constructed indie drama with a ring of truth to it… Rated: 4/5 Apr 6, 2024 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Bound tells a familiar story in an honest, emotionally resonant way.
