It's got vision and atmosphere to burn, yet at the same time feels strangely hollow and incomplete.June 22, 2017
Amirpour has ambitions bigger than the art house. She wants to make big, colorful blockbusters, too, and The Bad Batch feels like an audition reel to take over Mad Max.June 22, 2017
It's good, dirty fun. But it also takes exploitation - of bodies, of feeling, of labor - seriously.June 23, 2017
A film with neither engaging emotional threads nor the kind of panache that makes such cinematic mayhem worth it.June 22, 2017
Brace yourself for a dark, nasty and surprisingly enjoyable ride.June 22, 2017
The film wants ambiguity -- not the kind of thing generally found in pulp -- leaving us with unreadable characters and a distinct petering-out of tension.June 22, 2017
While her visual flair is strong, Amirpour's arch tone stifles the charisma of her cast... By the end of The Bad Batch, she has painted a fascinating scene, but she's also painted her characters into corners from which she can't help them escape.June 22, 2017
Filmmaker-to-watch Ana Lily Amirpour again shakes up a familiar genre - here, the postapocalyptic adventure - in unexpected ways, but stumbles a bit in the process.June 22, 2017
[T]his is a movie that's mostly about attitude -- ultimately hollow, while being apathetic about everything it shows and anything it could be saying.June 22, 2017
Amirpour's genius -- and she's honed it even more since her first film -- is to find the cinematic sweet spot between atmosphere and exposition.June 23, 2017
It's a trippy, sun-scorched apocalyptic horror film with a rom-com finish that gets as bloody, visceral and cannibalistic as its U.S. R rating will allow.June 22, 2017
As a politically barbed fantasy, "The Bad Batch" is intriguing but facile; as a bid for cult-classic status, it's strained and self-conscious.
