Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
In spite of the harrowing details, the film builds compassion for even the most disturbing characters and scenes.

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

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

rotten:
Throughout, the filmmakers live up to the movie's title. But as the story comes to a close, they opt to wrap it in comforting cliche, and they turn a miserable but credible viewing experience into a confounding one.

fresh:
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.
