Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets Reviews
Rolling Stone
David Fear
It neither romanticizes the fulltime drunk's life nor does it condemn it. It's 100-percent manufactured and 100-proof authentic.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
This movie creates illusions of truth out of artifice that happens to look, act, smell and taste like its own indelible reality.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
Bursting with humanity, grounded in humility, and in love with the poetry of faces, Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets is a classic indie film that will irritate or mystify some viewers while inspiring evangelical fervor in others.
AV Club
Vikram Murthi
It's a film comprised of snapshots, glimpses from a hazy evening. But the Ross Brothers understand that these are the moments that paint people in their best, most unguarded light.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets is as real as it gets, a snapshot stolen from the very year everything turned to shit. It's a masterpiece.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Claudia Puig
It's only fitfully interesting. If you like the idea of listening to drunken losers opine belligerently and threaten to fight, sing, dance, and fall asleep, then have at it.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
The most important thing is that it is genuinely great, a singular and moving glimpse of loneliness, community and finding the strength to face another day.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Alison Willmore
As a film, it's warm and beautiful without being sentimental about the temporary intimacy that alcohol can provide, creating bonds that can dissolve in the daylightlike haze but are no less legitimate in the moment for it.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
It ends in regret and anger and confusion, but it's perversely beautiful.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
In the vacuum of its 90 or so minutes, the film is a wonder.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
"Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets" is only fitfully engaging - suspect as documentary, insubstantial as fiction.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
Singing a song of outcasts, drunks, and failures, ...Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets may well be one of the best docs of the year.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Pays empathetic tribute to the motley fools who call their favorite bars home.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
An absorbing portrait of drinking life in all its joys - fellowship, high spirits and fleeting, flirty intimacy - and sorrows.
The Hollywood Reporter
Leslie Felperin
Blurs the boundary between documentary and feature filmmaking, making for a playful, compelling sui generis work.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Reaches for something just as truthful as either pure doc or pure fiction, finding a hybrid place in the middle that makes it no less powerful.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
Is the movie fiction? Yes, technically. Is it nonfiction? Not exactly. Is it "real"? Absolutely.
Slant Magazine
Carson Lund
It's in certain characters' trajectories that the Ross brothers locate the tragic soul of the bar.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
"Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets" may not be the straight-faced documentary it looks like, but it's a sober-eyed document of our times nonetheless.
Variety
Amy Nicholson
It's "The Bachelorette" wed to "The Iceman Cometh": the setup is staged, but the tears are real.
