Tim Robey

Daily Telegraph (UK)

What looks at first like a boxing drama tries to invent “weight-loss drama” as a genre all its own. The all-round exertion is immense, but the experience is a bizarre ordeal.

Rated: 2/5

While the film may not go about its expected narrative path, it never quite manages to make itself into anything interesting or edifying and winds up wasting an undeniably committed performance from Orlando Bloom in the process.

Rated: 2/4

The Spectator

It’s a story that’s been told umpteen times but what set this apart, I would suggest, is its deep and unremitting unpleasantness.

Orlando Bloom gives it his all, but The Cut is more a parody than a gritty character study - clumsy with its eating-disorder themes and centered on a lead you can’t bring yourself to root for.

Rated: 2/5

Shadows on the Wall

There's an impressive intensity to this movie, which begins as a boxing drama and spirals into something much more horrific.

Rated: 3/5

Screen International

An increasingly overwrought approach undermines its better instincts and creates an uneven affair, but the presence of Bloom shoud draw modest audiences.
