An emotionally gripping if slightly meandering drama marked by two powerful lead performances.

Eric D. Snider, Film.com

The movie wanders off course in the final act, as if none of its three screenwriters could quite figure out how to end it.

Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

"Rust" has some lovely scenes - Alain carrying Stephanie out to the sea - but it seems to wander off in search of something it already has, and in wandering, it loses its way.

"Rust and Bone" has heart and soul.

Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Rust and Bone" seems to wander unexpectedly into its heart; it feels organic in its casual unfolding, like life itself.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
