Release

Reception

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Rondo has an approval rating of 80% based on 10 reviews.^[1] Patrick Bromley from Bloody Disgusting gave the film 4 out of 5 and wrote: "It may ultimately be an exploitation movie, but I love exploitation - especially when it's as smart, as unpredictable, and as nasty as Rondo is."^[2] Anton Bitel writing for the website "Projected Figures" stated: "Barnhardt's deft, knowingly daft handling of all these elements is a tour de force of highly assured genre filmmaking, and the mark of a real talent emerging from cinema's more perverse, less salubrious end."^[3] Adam Patterson from the "Film Pulse" didn't like "Rondo" giving it only 3 out of 10 stars and stating: "While Rondo plays with some interesting ideas, it fails to present anything of substance, resulting in a sloppy mess of an attempt to create a modern exploitation film."^[4]
