The Mend Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
What's great about "The Mend" is that it never goes exactly where you expect it to go.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
"The Mend" meanders from situation to situation, turning itself in the process into a wallow of dysfunction. And a claustrophobic wallow at that.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
A hugely promising introduction to a director who's just getting started.
Madison Movie
Rob Thomas
"It is a gloriously entertaining film that gives some terrific actors plenty to gnaw on. And they get unnervingly close to the bone."
Dare Daniel
Daniel Barnes
An NYC-based comedy of ill manners that exudes weird, nervous energy from the opening seconds and never relents. I couldn't shake this film - it persisted in my mind like a stubborn houseguest.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
A terrific, quirky New York-set character piece.
The Film Stage
Nick Newman
It's a consistently wonderful, occasionally astonishing, deservedly moving piece of film craft layered on top of a screamingly funny screenplay.
Slant Magazine
Nick Prigge
The film is defined by its staunch refusal to clarify its characters' emotional issues, marooning them instead in the messes those emotions have wrought.
StageBuddy.com
Elissa Suh
The Mend lacks true mayhem or insight, resulting in a repeating scherzo without a coda.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Sharp dialogue and strong performances tumble around this ill-defined story like shoes in a dryer.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"The Mend," about a pair of oil-and-water brothers in free fall, is by turns opaque, harsh, self-aware, indulgent and wickedly funny. It's never dull, pummeling you with its prickly smarts.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
Takes what could have easily been a mundane tale of brotherly dysfunction and turns it into something abstract and electrifying.
New Yorker
Richard Brody
Despite the willful worldliness of the high-stakes emotional games, the movie's downbeat street poetry devolves into moody clichés.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
Directing his first feature after some shorts, John Magary digs into his characters with fresh eyes and a sly sense of adventure.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
It's a tough film to shake, a slice-of-life that slices, knifelike.
Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A convincing and refreshingly indirect examination of handed-down emotional flaws.
Austin Chronicle
Dan Gentile
The lack of consequences for Mat's deviance snowballs into a frustrating mess made more excruciating by a pulsing string quartet score and the trite cocktail party observations of the supporting cast.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Kathy Fennessy
It's as if Ingmar Bergman and the Safdie brothers got together to make a movie. However you define it, it's quite wonderful
HeraldNet (Everett, WA)
Robert Horton
Say this for John Magary's indie drama: You can't predict where it's going from one moment to the next.
Paste Magazine
Andy Crump
The Mend is a refreshingly genuine film, fueled by infectious energy and the coarsest of humor.
