Bleed for This Ratings & Reviews
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Teller is appreciably committed to the character, but he's only given one note to play, his full-bodied passion wasted on a movie that would rather win on points than go for the knockout.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
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.

Leonard Maltin
Bleed for This is still worth seeing, despite its familiar trappings.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Jordan Hoffman
Bleed For This is twelve rounds of tedium, a boring boxing movie that draws most of its strength from memories of other, better experiences.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
Ben Younger's Bleed for This, starring Miles Teller, distinguishes itself by doubling down on some of the tried-and-true formulas. It's a comeback times two.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
Bleed for This is utterly devoid of tension, making for a limp entry in the fighting-film lineage.
Nerdist
Kristy Puchko
Bleed for This will not be the drama that establishes Teller as a heavyweight in Hollywood. And that's a real shame for its true champ, Aaron Eckhart.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Teller is magnetic in the lead role, and he helps "Bleed for This" transcend boxing movie clichés.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
This is a boxing movie that actually gets boxing.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
You can't shake the sense that the real Vinny Paz is far more fascinating than this basic boxing biopic.
NPR
Chris Klimek
Thirty of Paz's 50 career victories were by knockout, but Bleed for This wins more narrowly, on points.
TheWrap
Claudia Puig
The tale's powerful dramatic arc is undeniable. But Pazienza's saga as depicted here feels overly simplified and lacking in heft.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
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.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Yes, it's a boxing comeback story. But the car accident makes it different, and Teller and Eckhart make it better than it ought to be.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
No amount of feints will change one fact: "Bleed for This" has no new moves.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Vinny's remarkable comeback story can make for compelling viewing.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Teller is cornering a market on recklessness in the roles he chooses -- the energy from that demonic drum solo at the end of "Whiplash" seems to carry over into the ferocity with which Vinny pounds at life.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
The familiar conventions of the boxing movie get a muscular overhaul in this gritty biopic about Vinny Pazienza, known as the Pazmanian Devil.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Overall, Bleed for This is a conventional boxing saga about the improbable comeback of a fallen and flawed champ.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
Its deep knowledge of boxing pictures and sports weepies helps the story glide along. Still, there's a deeper, more powerful tale here that remains frustratingly untapped.
