Critics Consensus

The Bad Batch has its moments, but it's too thinly written and self-indulgent to justify its length or compensate for its slow narrative drift.

The Bad Batch never organizes itself around a coherent idea or works up the urgency to pay off its premise.

The Bad Batch has enough flashy, fashionably grim accessories and accoutrements to fill a Hot Topic.

All of these elements unfold in more a stream-of-thought manner than real design. And Waterhouse turns in a solid performance.

Sad, without such a limp noodle in the lead I really could've gone places with The Bad Batch - there's whole lots to love stuffed and sauteed at its margins

With a powerful soundtrack accompanied by a strong visual proposal, The Bad Batch reminds us more of a good video clip than a film. [Full review in Spanish]

1.5/5

Starts strong with startling images but every time it works up a head of steam it veers off track. Its languid pace and stretched-out story makes the two-hour running time feel much longer.

Another strange movie with an unusual soundtrack to match. The idea of a young independent female being tossed into a cruel world of cannibals is truly disturbing. The plot is really weak and needed to have much more thought before even bringing it to life. I enjoyed the performances of the cast whom are all very talented indeed. I was overall disappointed by the length of this film and how nothing seemed to go anywhere in all of the time that it had.

Brutal, but with depth. No wonder Jim Carrey took the part

Just like riding that rickety old rollercoaster that gets stuck every once in a while... We may have done it before, but it is still a fun ride. It went out on a limb which payed off. Excellent sound, cast, and pop culture references. Its slow pace gnaws at the nerves, but with a purpose. The Bad Batch is a great catch and can stand on its own 2 legs at the end of the day.
