A boxer comes out of retirement to vie for his championship title through a grueling and unsanctioned weight cut program with a coach who knows no limits, alienating himself from reality and loved ones, as he spirals out of control.

Steve Pond

TheWrap

The film is bookended by quiet scenes between a man and a woman, by beautifully understated performances by Bloom and Balfe.

Variety

The film tries several things at once, including a flashback structure than doesn’t fully connect, but its impact ultimately comes down to Orlando Bloom‘s visceral, transformative performance as an unnamed Irish brawler.

Entertainment Weekly

It keeps its audience against the ropes, bludgeoning viewers with a trite, histrionic tale of trauma...

Rated: C-

Sarah Gopaul

Digital Journal

It’s a harrowing narrative made convincing through exceptional portrayals by everyone involved, though its labouring heart is beaten by Bloom’s and Turturro’s unforgiving performances.

ScreenAnarchy

The Cut is distinguished by its ending. The severity of cutting weight needed a memorable hook, and The Cut goes there in a shocking finale that serves as a stinging, pungent punchline.

Rated: 3/5

Dan Bayer

Next Best Picture

It’s the best performance Bloom's ever given, but it’s in a film that can’t thread the needle between the character study at its heart and the boxing movie it’s dressed up as.

Rated: 4/10
