Guy Lodge Variety There's a bone-weary resignation to its worldview that underlines its simple moral point all the more effectively. Sep 26, 2018 Full Review Jonathan Holland Hollywood Reporter High-impact but shallow. Sep 25, 2018 Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International Punchy docudrama-style execution and an involving narrative that bowls along like, well, gangbusters, give Alpha an immediacy that's often been missing from Mendoza's realist studies of Filipino street life. Sep 24, 2018 Full Review James Wegg JWR Where are the good guys? Rated: 4 Oct 27, 2022 Full Review Oggs Cruz Rappler Sadly, Alpha, despite all the advances in Mendoza's craft, feels old. Jul 17, 2019 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film Although strong in its documentary feel and scathing in its message, it otherwise runs through the Alpha to Omega of predictable thriller elements. Rated: 3/5 Oct 4, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
