Reviews for Punch
A flawed film that despite having some curiosities ends up looking too smart for its own good.
[B]izarre, would-be literary exploration of incestuous father-daughter attraction, anger management, and women beating the crap out of each other...
Punch is a fascinating curiosity, in some ways as confused and unresolved as its characters.
In some respects, Punch still packs some, but it will leave you feeling woozy and glad when the bell rings.
This is a good premise, but written and acted in a fashion that rings false.
