    The Hollywood Reporter

    Despite the artistic flourishes, this is still an utterly repellent look at a psychopath who does not deserve the attention of the filmmakers or the audience.

    Variety

    Too smart/arty for the slasher set, and too violent for high-brows, Bronson may have a tough time finding its niche, although it has "cult hit" written all over it.

    ReelViews James Berardinelli

    It's lively and vivid but ends up leaving the viewer indifferent to the central character, his life, and his dubious place in British pop culture.

    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    It is 92 minutes of rage, acted by Tom Hardy.

    Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips

    Hardy is remarkable, however. This is an actor with a memorably expressive rasp of a voice, both blunt and musical.

    The New York Times A.O. Scott

    Bronson invites you to admire its protagonist as a pure, muscular embodiment of anarchy. And perhaps you will, but you may also be glad that he's still behind bars.

    Los Angeles Times

    Whether it's Peterson/Bronson's more theatrical bits or his untamable character's many blood-spitting, knuckle-beating, explosions, Hardy chomps down on his once-in-a-career role with stunning ferocity and never lets go. He's extraordinary.
