News & Interviews for The Mend
Critic Reviews for The Mend
All Critics (32) | Top Critics (16) | Fresh (25) | Rotten (7)
The Mend lacks true mayhem or insight, resulting in a repeating scherzo without a coda.
"The Mend" meanders from situation to situation, turning itself in the process into a wallow of dysfunction. And a claustrophobic wallow at that.
Sharp dialogue and strong performances tumble around this ill-defined story like shoes in a dryer.
"The Mend," about a pair of oil-and-water brothers in free fall, is by turns opaque, harsh, self-aware, indulgent and wickedly funny. It's never dull, pummeling you with its prickly smarts.
The Mend finds the truths that bind families together, but it knows that everyone has to hack their own path to get there.
Takes what could have easily been a mundane tale of brotherly dysfunction and turns it into something abstract and electrifying.
