Reviews
Screen Anarchy posted their review of The Bad Batch. Overall it was a positive review and they made te case why Ana Lily Amirpour deserves the awards. They took detailed looks at the characters and some of the symbolism. They posted the following about Keanu Reeves’ character:
This iconoclastic king is rather gloriously a southern-drawling, podgy Keanu Reeves, who unmistakably resembles Elvis. And the dream he sells is little more than a giant DJ booth, the occasional rave and a healthy supply of opiates, for which, in return, he exploits the town’s women and surrounds himself with an entourage of heavily armed pregnant women who wear t-shirts that read, “The Dream Is Inside Me.” This is the kind of subtle, but scathing jibes about where the world is heading which The Bad Batch delivers in spades, and I definitely think it reminds you why Amirpour is such an exciting and sharp-witted director.
The Telegraph posted their review and gave the film 5/5 stars. The following was posted about Keanu’s character:
She escapes and finds her way to Comfort, a nearby commune presided over by an oily demagogue called The Dream (Keanu Reeves), who monologues about toilets and tomatoes, distributes tabs of LSD to his subjects like a blessed sacrament, and has a machine-gun-toting retinue of heavily pregnant women. Note: Keanu’s character is Rockwell according to IMDb.
