	Media	Author	Review
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Pretty f★cking good (...) For a movie with an expletive in its title, 'Bucky F★cking Dent' sure displays a sentimental streak"
		Damon Wise Deadline	"A sometimes-zany black comedy (...) The elevator pitch is a tough one; though it’s funny in places, the tone is all over the place"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"Finds fresh life in its nuanced central relationship, charming period details, and a stirring performance from Duchovny"
		Marshall Shaffer The Playlist	"The film loses even further focus, especially in the soporific back half of 'Bucky F★ing Dent'"
		John Fink The Film Stage	"It’s a shame the film isn’t a sharper, more original version of itself, but like Bucky Dent, it unexpectedly comes through when it counts"
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[It] ambles along with a sweet-and-sour vitality that’s funny and pleasing"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Has its charms, but the laidback tone ultimately makes the story feel inconsequential rather than well-observed"
		Chloe Walker Paste Magazine	"A willingness to take emotional risks, alongside the finely-drawn characters and beautiful performances, makes 'Bucky F★cking Dent' a deeply lovely movie"
