Reception

[edit]

The film has a 60 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 10 reviews.[3]

Mike McCahill of The Guardian awarded the film two stars out of five and wrote, "Mahesh Pailoor’s film is appreciably relaxed around matters of age and race, yet – as a missing-cat subplot suggests – it’s somewhat underpowered."[4]

Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a mixed review, calling it "an accomplished first feature that doesn’t quite achieve its initial promise."[1]

Sheri Linden of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "...the drama that unfolds from that gambit is too tepid to make the perpetrator’s redemption, let alone the fulfillment of his artistic vision, anything to root for."[5]

Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times gave the film a positive reviews and wrote, "Gaining in astringency as it goes along, Brahmin Bulls avoids the formulaic version of this story, in which the stubborn son learns from the more experienced father."[2]
