Part literate black comedy, part surrealistic character study, part horror movie, Bronson is a sophisticated confection, rich and dark, sprinkled with bitter little jokes.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Ita(TM)s a meditation on the art of rage -- an action painting passing itself off as an action movie.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

"Nuffin' wonky about my upbringing," Bronson says, early on. Nothing wonky about Hardy's performance, either.
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
A pointless exercise in morbidity.
Stephen Farber, Hollywood Reporter
