Alexandra Heller-Nicholas The Blue Lenses Aug 25, 2018
Bridgend is ... a hollow, empty and predominantly cold film, but it is open for debate as to whether this is the result of a filmmaking flaw or - as is more likely - a deliberate strategy. Go to Full Review Nick Allen RogerEbert.com May 6, 2016
2.5/4
The ambitions are there in Rnde's film and are exciting to witness, as is the evocative imagery. But "Bridgend" feels imbalanced. Go to Full Review Ken Jaworowski New York Times May 5, 2016
A stylishly shot, eerily scored and moodily acted film that wants for nothing but a plot. Depending on how you like your movies, this is either a walkout or a must-see. Go to Full Review Jason Adams The Film Experience Jul 2, 2021
Moribund on arrival Go to Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy Aug 6, 2018
Coming of age in a town with no hope for the future, Bridgend is a sensitive exploration of natural adolescent confusion, romanticism, and sadness. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Seanax.com Oct 28, 2016
Rnde shot the film on location "in the Valleys" of rural Wales and the atmosphere of the landscape pervades the film; gloomy and isolated and swallowed up in fog, it is beautiful but lonely ... Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Isaac T @RT98038322 Nov 27, 2025 Insanely insensitive making this artsy indie film barely even a decade after the source material took place my family know many people who actually died and this film making it into some big supernatural conspiracy is grossly wrong and immoral since it happened so close and got it so factually wrong to what happened it’s disgusting and distasteful. See more Oct 23, 2020 I found this movie.. yes disturbing.. I am from S.Wales but haven't lived there since I was 3, I have family from Bridgend. I know the area but found it discriminatory, the movie wasn't written by anyone from the area. It was very Arty & contemporary which I guess won the film awards, but who the heck was there when these suicides were taking place? Who is there now making sure people are doing ok? 🤔 I guess not! See more Oct 12, 2017 Found all the teenagers really irritating, jumping around topless and screaming for no apparent reason. Maybe I'm just too old for this but I think a documentary would have been more interesting. See more Nov 29, 2016 Very dark and creepy tone that is very well done. Hannah Murray is great along with the rest of the cast. Kept getting the movie Kids pop into my head as a comparison, only much darker. See more Nov 16, 2016 Weirdly hypnotic. And good in a painful way. See more Oct 23, 2016 An unimaginable reality is brought to the brink of clarity -- only to plunge right back into a psychological abyss -- in Danish helmer Jeppe Ronde's potent, pain-ridden Bridgend.
