Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com Aug 22, 2026
But Grashaw’s well-intentioned aims result in a mawkish final act that feels more like an overly formulated sprint to the end rather than a true reckoning. Go to Full Review Paul Emmanuel Enicola The Movie Buff 5 days ago
"Bruton" could have looked harder at what the institution did to its central character and what that institution does more broadly. Grashaw is more interested in what Bryan made of it, and for roughly two-thirds of the movie, that’s enough. Go to Full Review Andrew Dignan In Review Online Aug 29, 2026
There’s a credulousness to Bruton that remains as uninterrogated as it is counterproductive... [it's] a film that refuses to scrutinize its own subject. Go to Full Review James Preston Poole The Cosmic Circus Aug 19, 2026
4.5/5
Bruton honors its title subject with infectiously propulsive energy, a palpable feeling of hope, and a subtle yet commanding turn from Theo Rossi. Go to Full Review Simon Foster Screen-Space (Substack) Aug 16, 2026
4/5
Theo Rossi commands the screen with his poignant, passionate portrayal of a habitual criminal in Vincent Grashaw’s propulsive prison drama. Go to Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? Aug 14, 2026
8/10
So, come for the dark comedy and stay for the redemption arc. [Crystal's] the real victim and Grashaw does well to build his script around how that truth has the power to finally change Bruton’s stripes. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
