Bleed for This's reviews
Media reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Miles Teller gives the performance of his career as the indefatigable Vinny ?The Pazmanian Devil? Pazienza, and writer-director Ben Younger delivers one of the best boxing movies of the decade in 'Bleed for This'.
Variety
Teller is terrific, which should come as no surprise to 'Whiplash' fans, though no less significant, the film represents a significant return for writer-director Ben Younger.
Rolling Stone
Younger jacks up the action in the last third, but the air goes out of a fight movie when you can see the next jab coming.
The Wrap
The boxing drama 'Bleed for This' has a powerful story and a strong lead performance in its corner, but falls short of knockout status. Hampered by clichéd writing and stereotypical portrayals, this extraordinary true-life account feels run-of-the-mill.
