Reviews

Pure has received a mix of reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a moderate rating reflecting appreciation for its heartfelt performances, particularly that of Mikayla LaShae Bartholomew, whose portrayal was frequently highlighted for its authenticity. Rotten Tomatoes presents a mixed critical consensus with a score hovering around the lower 60s percentile, indicating that while some reviewers praised the film's emotional depth and raw honesty, others found the pacing uneven and the narrative somewhat predictable. Metacritic scores align similarly, suggesting that Pure resonates more with viewers seeking character-driven stories rather than mainstream cinematic excitement. Critics from outlets such as The Hollywood Reporter noted that “the film’s strength lies in its sincerity and the raw portrayal of familial strife,” while Variety commented on the powerful acting but mentioned that “the story could benefit from tighter editing.” Overall, Pure is regarded as a niche drama that may appeal particularly to those who appreciate nuanced, character-focused films rather than big-budget productions.
