Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Blow can't sustain the high.

rotten:
An extraordinary -- and unfathomable -- piece of whitewashing.

fresh:
Blow fades a bit in its second half, weighed down by a need to closely follow Jung's life. But even then, the actors are so compelling that it's just a mild discomfort.

rotten:
A mediocre biopic.

Grabs hold of you by the lapels and simply won't let go.
