Critics Consensus

The Bad Batch has its moments, but it's too thinly written and self-indulgent to justify its length or compensate for its slow narrative drift.

The Bad Batch | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Scott Tobias Uproxx The Bad Batch never organizes itself around a coherent idea or works up the urgency to pay off its premise. Oct 10, 2017 Full Review The Bad Batch | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Adam Nayman Reverse Shot The Bad Batch has enough flashy, fashionably grim accessories and accoutrements to fill a Hot Topic. Jun 30, 2017 Full Review The Bad Batch | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Rick Bentley Tribune News Service All of these elements unfold in more a stream-of-thought manner than real design. And Waterhouse turns in a solid performance. Jun 27, 2017 Full Review The Bad Batch | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Jason Adams My New Plaid Pants Sad, without such a limp noodle in the lead I really could've gone places with The Bad Batch - there's whole lots to love stuffed and sauteed at its margins Jul 2, 2021 Full Review The Bad Batch | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Fausto Ponce Alta Fidelidad Magazine With a powerful soundtrack accompanied by a strong visual proposal, The Bad Batch reminds us more of a good video clip than a film. [Full review in Spanish] Apr 28, 2021 Full Review The Bad Batch | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Starts strong with startling images but every time it works up a head of steam it veers off track. Its languid pace and stretched-out story makes the two-hour running time feel much longer. Rated: 1.5/5 Mar 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I loved it. the few dialogues, the music, the cast, the violent scenes.everything in this film is anarchy and experimentation.in my opinion, a masterpiece Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Gero C The truth is I wasn't expecting something like this. Many consider it bad, but I believe the opposite. An incredible cast, violence, a more or less interesting story and measured performances. I would love to continue seeing Jim Carrey in roles like this. It's tremendous. Recommendable. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Daniel B Un viaje Psicodélico y bizarro único. El cine de Ana Lily Amirpour es extraño, siendo un gran ejemplo de ello "The Bad Batch" de 2016. Una película siniestra que siembra la desesperanza humana de una forma tan ambigua a la ves que poética que por muchos momentos asusta cómo esta extrañeza toma rasgos distintivos para nosotros cómo sociedad. Una película que sin pelos en la lengua habla de forma tajante de la disparidad social. Con un gran reparto encabezado por Suki Waterhouse, "The Bad Batch" sigue a Arien, una chica que después de ser despojada al infierno en la tierra, es secuestrada por un grupo de caníbales que le amputan un brazo y una pierna antes de lograr escapar. Siendo encontrada y enviada a una comunidad autónoma regida por un patriarca que mueve a sus ciudadanos a través de la esperanza y la autoaceptación propia. Adaptándose, hasta que después de un impulso de ira ante una de las chicas del grupo caníbal, se verá involucrada con uno de los hombres de dicha comunidad para llevarlo a "Confort" para volverlo a reunir con su hija que ella había llevado ahí.La narrativa principal de la trama es muy ambigua, dejando metáforas al aire que muchas veces quedan como vestigios narrativos que en momentos sustanciales para encaminar una trama concisa. Me gusta la ambigüedad narrativa que se unifica con la belleza de la puesta en escena y con un soudtrack potente, pero la trama no cuenta nada, buscando más abrazar ese lado bizarro que en profundizar a los personajes, en los cuáles nos tenemos que dar una idea de su trasfondo ya que la trama no se detiene en presentarlos, que bien podría haber sido un recurso narrativo interesante, pero el exponer tantas ideas en una trama tan lenta a la vez que tan vacía y lineal en una historia simplista de punto A a punto B hace que solo veamos vestigios de una sociedad que podría haber dado para mucho más. La película en secuencias puntuales es increíble, tiene momentos tan oscuros a la vez que psicodélicos que son increíbles, expuestos con una fotografía desesperanzadora y protagonizada por estrambóticos y abyectos personajes, envueltos en un mundo desolado y en demasía peligroso más por los propios humanos que por las carencias naturales del ambiente.The Bad Batch, busca indagar por la psique del personaje principal en su búsqueda de su nueva definición cómo persona en una nueva realidad y con un nuevo cuerpo en un decadente mundo que por muchos momentos se asemeja al abismo social tan marcado que vivimos diariamente. Las circunstancias en primera instancia definen nuestro desarrollo cómo personas, pero no determinarán lo que nos identifica cómo individuos. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Cera G The Bad Batch is one of the most striking, intentionally shot, unique and potentially misunderstood films I've seen in years. The cinematography, and creative direction are undeniably brilliant. Where there is something left to be desired in a few of the accents, the emotional performances of the lead cast are on point. The film says so much while the leads say hardly anything at all. Dark, grim and at times brutal, The Bad Batch is primarily a story about human connection, and the fact that love is just as much in our nature as brutality. It grabbed me from beginning to end. It's a film you have to feel. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/09/23 Full Review TriggerHappyTree u Some absolute stunning visuals, with just enough horror and gore. Dialogue leaves a bit to be desired but ultimately fantastically dark. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/23 Full Review Courtney K super interesting concept, but it's a pretty slow ride - everything is really one-note & not much happens to begin with, so it got a little boring. but it's not terrible. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
