pointlessly horrible film - Bastards review by CP Customer
Gratuitously unpleasant film. No meaningful point to any of the unpleasantness. Slow-moving, terrible characterisation, particularly of women characters. Utterly pretentious. No redeeming qualities, except that it only drags on for 96 minutes. Any more and I would have had to turn it off.

Not dreadful but not really successful either - Bastards review by MN
I'd have no problem with the fragmentary plot, unlikeable protagonist and the slowness if it ultimately felt like it was in service to something. But it's a film about bad men doing bad things, and that's about all we learn about anyone in it. I think it would probably benefit from a second viewing but i'm in no hurry to see it again!
