Critics Consensus

Thanks to muscular work from director/co-writer Max Winkler and his stars, Jungleland punches above its weight in a crowded genre.

Great film. Character-driven, and lit up with a full-range, heart-wrenching performance by Charlie Hunnam. Excellent acting and directing.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

"Lion" is the Pride, but Stanley scrapes and claws for every star here, hanging on like his windpant's waistband.

Great chemistry between the three main characters, the relationship between the brothers is very believable. Not enough character depth so you find yourself not rooting for them as much as much as you could be. It's a shame really, if the fight scenes were better and the story didn't have too many holes in it Jungleland would be a solid four star film

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Jungleland is a heartfelt bromance roadtrip movie. It feels familiar with ideas and the grittiness take from elsewhere. However, it'll keep you glued for all twelve rounds, though it's not for quite a knockout.

Clarisse Loughrey

Independent (UK)

Here is a world of seedy gangsters and flame-hearted girls, with a plot that slowly unravels with each increasingly implausible turn.

Rated: 2/5

Simran Hans

Observer (UK)

Neon-lit diners, lonely service stations and empty parking lots are straight out of an Edward Hopper painting in this handsome, gloomy drama.

Rated: 3/5

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

It's directed by Max - son of Henry, "the Fonze" - Winkler with some style, but never moves beyond paper-thin pastiche.

Rated: 2/5

City AM

A road movie is about enjoying the time you spend with characters, and in that sense Jungleland is a trip worth taking. An understated exploration of brotherly love and broken dreams, it stands out in a crowded weight class.

Rated: 4/5

In Review Online

Even the few-and-far-between fight scenes are so bog-standard as to convey no visceral thrill whatsoever ... simply another lifeless piece of a clichéd whole.

Mad About Movies Podcast

Jungleland avoids most of the traps and tropes you'd expect a movie like this to fall into, allowing Hunnam and O'Connell to soar. I'm very excited to see what director Max Winkler will do next.
