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 Jonita Davis The Black Cape (Medium) Oct 22, 2026
This could be Rossi's breakout role. Even if it’s not his Michael B. Jordan/Fruitvale Station moment, Rossi does one hell of a job bringing Bruton's story and character to life. Go to Full Review Zofia Wijaszka The Film Nerdette Oct 21, 2026

Grashaw’s film is engaging, vulnerable, and interesting from the start. It’s a solid biography, showcasing one man’s life as Rossi delivers one of his best performances. Go to Full Review Paul Emmanuel Enicola The Movie Buff Sep 7, 2026
"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 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 Read all reviews
