Bodied Reviews
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Like its subject matter, "Bodied" is bold storytelling with no punches pulled.
San Francisco Chronicle
Chad Jones
Along the way, there are good laughs, brain-rattling battles... and the kind of incisive social commentary that actually surprises with its targets and revelations.
AV Club
April Wolfe
Simultaneously entertaining, overwhelming, compelling, and grating, Bodied raises its hand and talks until words mean nothing and everything.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
We tip our caps to Kahn & Co.'s underdog story. But satire-wise, there's some killer bars left on the killing floor here.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
Scene for scene, this is a remarkable film, superbly acted, directed, photographed and edited, thought provoking but unpretentious.
Seattle Times
Brent McKnight
"Bodied" isn't for the easily offended, it'll make you squirm, and it's a total banger best seen with a crowd.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
"Bodied" doesn't come to any hard conclusions, but suggests that the ultimate cathartic power of rap comes from its ability to be an equal-opportunity offender.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Loosely a battle-rap All About Eve, but it's so thickly packed with technical and verbal dazzle that whatever biting point it might have had to make ends up completely lost.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Bodied is a comedy of ill manners, fraught as it is with a veritable encyclopedia of contemporaneous qualms confronted and contested with some seriously dope hustle and flow. Tag this one #badassseriousfun.
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
The anti-P.C. scorn that establishes a white boy's nervous entry into rap gradually becomes a sincere, if hilarious, treatise on the impossibility of reducing art to value judgments.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Screenwriter Alex Larsen packs in so many ideas that the film is as intellectually dense as anything by Jean-Luc Godard, though director Joseph Kahn maintains a fluid style throughout.
New Yorker
Richard Brody
It's neither a rewarding drama nor a substantial set of ideas, but its implications and by-products, suggestions and overtones are far more enjoyable to contemplate than the movie is to experience.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
Bodied is uneven, but it has the fire where it counts.
NPR
Scott Tobias
It's juvenile. It's irritating. Yet it's also fiendishly clever in the way it anticipates and dismantles every argument that could be made against it, and how it sneakily affirms the power of the words it slings around so freely.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
With visuals as kinetic as its language, Joseph Kahn's "Bodied" is an outrageously smart, shockingly funny satire of P.C. culture whose words gush so quickly you'll want to see it twice.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Offers an entertaining window into a culture that most people probably know very little about, but it's also a clever take on a generation more aware of what's offensive and what's not than any before.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
Bodied is exhausting and annoying a lot of the time, but it's also hilariously funny, finely stylized, and genuinely bold where it counts, both in terms of its story arc and the willingness to go there.
Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
If the movie runs long in places, the vibrant performances from Worthy and the rest of the cast help push things ahead, and there are enough dynamo battles from start to finish to keep hungry rap fans satisfied.
Vague Visages
Joey Keogh
Bodied is a blisteringly urgent and inescapably topical meditation on race, class and identity.
Variety
Andrew Barker
Pummeling, overlong, and at times a bit too proud of its own provocations, "Bodied" is nonetheless a feverishly entertaining spectacle ...
