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. Read full review

Part rap musical, part social satire, with elements of Westerns and kung fu pictures, Bodied is one of the funniest, freest movies of the year. Read full review

Worthy is a marvel, transitioning from pasty wallflower to a glowering, unencumbered threat. Read full review

The Film Stage Ethan Vestby

Kahn’s film taken on its own terms doesn’t seem to be striving for anything beyond an in-the-moment provocation, even if it has the occasional insight. Read full review

Simultaneously entertaining, overwhelming, compelling, and grating, Bodied raises its hand and talks until words mean nothing and everything. Read full review

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. Read full review

What might be considered devastating or dead funny here will be highly subjective, but none of it captures the wit of producer Eminem’s “Slim Shady,” which rolls under the closing credits. Read full review

Like Adam, nerd from Berkeley that has beaten the most paranoid man in their hip hop rap battle. Also, now i know the fact the Eminem is the most intelligent rapper at the same time as he became one of the greatest rappers of all time.… Expand

This film has alot of improvements from 8 mile. But don't mean to compare, The Producer is Eminem himself, that's why Everybody who's cast that are rappers in the film killed it.

best movie 2018, the most fun I've had this year at a movie. Very well written and acted, the script is excellent and really pops. It feels like a movie that should have been made 10 years ago. It has class warfare, insight and amazing vivacious poetry. It articulates hypocrisy,best movie 2018, the most fun I've had this year at a movie.

Es entretenida, aprendes bastante del rap, y hay q estra actualizado de la cultura popular americana. El problema de la historia que empieza seria y se vuelve una comedia absurda.
