This is a film so anxious to be taken seriously that it has evaded seriousness itself.
David Thomson, The New Republic
Rotten
The movie ends where it might have begun, and merely states mysteries that remain unexplored.
Richard Brody, New Yorker

"Bastards" is a thriller truly etched in darkness, pools of black broken mostly by the stricken yet soldiering faces of her main characters, like ships in a sea of stormy nights.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
There's nothing wrong with dealing out a dense, noir-like plot in tiny scraps - unless, like "Bastards," the film remains flaccid and tensionless.
