Bodied Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Screenwriter Alex Larsen packs in so many ideas that the film is as intellectually dense as anything by Jean-Luc Godard, though director Joseph Kahn maintains a fluid style throughout.
Vague Visages
Joey Keogh
Bodied is a blisteringly urgent and inescapably topical meditation on race, class and identity.
Smash Cut Reviews
Karl Delossantos
Bodied has a lot on its mind. So much that it doesn't always know how to balance it, but watching it try to is entertaining and eye-opening.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
It's neither a rewarding drama nor a substantial set of ideas, but its implications and by-products, suggestions and overtones are far more enjoyable to contemplate than the movie is to experience.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
Bodied is uneven, but it has the fire where it counts.
San Francisco Chronicle
Chad Jones
Along the way, there are good laughs, brain-rattling battles... and the kind of incisive social commentary that actually surprises with its targets and revelations.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
We tip our caps to Kahn & Co.'s underdog story. But satire-wise, there's some killer bars left on the killing floor here.
NPR
Scott Tobias
It's juvenile. It's irritating. Yet it's also fiendishly clever in the way it anticipates and dismantles every argument that could be made against it, and how it sneakily affirms the power of the words it slings around so freely.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Like its subject matter, "Bodied" is bold storytelling with no punches pulled.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Bodied is a comedy of ill manners, fraught as it is with a veritable encyclopedia of contemporaneous qualms confronted and contested with some seriously dope hustle and flow. Tag this one #badassseriousfun.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
With visuals as kinetic as its language, Joseph Kahn's "Bodied" is an outrageously smart, shockingly funny satire of P.C. culture whose words gush so quickly you'll want to see it twice.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
Scene for scene, this is a remarkable film, superbly acted, directed, photographed and edited, thought provoking but unpretentious.
AV Club
April Wolfe
Simultaneously entertaining, overwhelming, compelling, and grating, Bodied raises its hand and talks until words mean nothing and everything.
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
The anti-P.C. scorn that establishes a white boy's nervous entry into rap gradually becomes a sincere, if hilarious, treatise on the impossibility of reducing art to value judgments.
Seattle Times
Brent McKnight
"Bodied" isn't for the easily offended, it'll make you squirm, and it's a total banger best seen with a crowd.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Offers an entertaining window into a culture that most people probably know very little about, but it's also a clever take on a generation more aware of what's offensive and what's not than any before.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
"Bodied" doesn't come to any hard conclusions, but suggests that the ultimate cathartic power of rap comes from its ability to be an equal-opportunity offender.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Loosely a battle-rap All About Eve, but it's so thickly packed with technical and verbal dazzle that whatever biting point it might have had to make ends up completely lost.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
If the movie runs long in places, the vibrant performances from Worthy and the rest of the cast help push things ahead, and there are enough dynamo battles from start to finish to keep hungry rap fans satisfied.
Variety
Andrew Barker
Pummeling, overlong, and at times a bit too proud of its own provocations, "Bodied" is nonetheless a feverishly entertaining spectacle ...
