Critic Reviews
-
Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Times
The mawkish yet weirdly mesmerizing film Badland is independent in scale but aggressively Hollywood in storytelling.
-
Kyle Smith, New York Post
The year's dullest movie has arrived: the deeply silly Badland, which is as dead as winter and twice as long.
-
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News
Possibly the worst idea for a movie this century.
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Expertly constructed and beautifully photographed, Badland easily sustains its 160-minute running time, and the portrayals of Draven, a British actor, and 9-year-old Fulton can stand alongside the year's best.
-
Robert Koehler, Variety
The raw material would seem to be in place for a strong, moving contemporary tragedy, but scene after endless scene fails to come to life.
