	Media	Author	Review
		Lee Marshall Screendaily	"Anyone with a deep interest in Baker/Kelly and the demons he may be hanging out to dry here will no doubt be fascinated by the exercise, but the rest of us will be either bored or just plain baffled"
		Anna Smith Deadline	"An involving portrait of a lonely, angry man (...) This should please fans curious to understand him better, if not fully"
		Ed Potton The Times	"Machine Gun Kelly convinces utterly as obnoxious rock star (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Guy Lodge Variety	"A stylish but very slender film that brings nothing fresh to the curious subgenre of fictionalized but semi-reflective music-star portraits"
		Tim Robey Telegraph	"I was surprised to find how emptying out a man in this fashion triggered genuine emotion by the end (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"As a portrait of self-destructive stardom, 'Taurus' is undeniably convincing (...) Less clear, however, is to what end all of this suffering is being performed."
		Mark Hanson Slant	"'Taurus' is in the business of self-aggrandizement, but this is a film that understands that stardom is inherently aggrandizing (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Katie Rife rogerebert.com	"[It] isn’t meant to lionize its protagonist. But even in offering a cautionary tale, all it can deliver is shallow provocation and monotonous cliché (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"The warts-and-all honesty that Baker brings to the table doesn’t prevent Sutton from repackaging his story as a simple cautionary tale about an industry — and a society — that will fatten people up just to eat them alive"
		Christian Gallichio The Playlist	"[It] may not reach the existential heights of 'Last Days', but it’s a step in the right direction for Sutton and a continued reminder that Baker needs more roles that reflect his skill set"
		Ferdosa Abdi Screen Rant	"[It] plays like a personal project, but that doesn’t make it good. However, Baker should take pride in knowing he has a future in acting; he just needs to pick better projects (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 5)"
