      Dani G A little comedic, a little dramatic, a little musical... I don't know, but it didn't quite had me at any moment. It's not bad, definitely, but it's not something special, either. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review jake s Another fine addition to that gorgeous, but gritty branch of independent Chinese cinema. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Dead Pigs is quirky and vibrant where the characters collide through their personal turmoils and as their city undergoes big changes. Crazy salon bird lady steals the show defending her house from developers. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member It a greatest movie ever seen Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Hearfelt, surprising (in some ways), and overall, a wonderful. The movie is also an intersection of east meets west and rich v poor, as well as a society's growing pains. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Commies, get a grip on reality. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Funny, surreal, and understated. Jun 3, 2021 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Yan fashions a quirky, engaging and feisty tale that unites the plights of kooky characters coping with an ever-changing city, country and culture. It's quite the ride. Rated: 3/4 Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Kristy Puchko Pajiba Dead Pigs delivers a story that is thought-provoking, decadently stylish, sprightly poignant, and joltingly funny. Feb 19, 2021 Full Review Phil Guie Film-Forward.com [Doesn't have] a plot to propel it forward so much as principals who cross paths, clash, and tug the narrative this way and that. But at least they’re lively and compelling. Rated: 4/5 Sep 25, 2022 Full Review Maria Garcia A Woman's Picture Yan's delightful musical and narrative riffs of American comedy are also a homage, and are represented in Joe Yao's production design... Aug 4, 2021 Full Review Ross Anthony Hollywood Report Card Strong acting and distinctive rich direction tie these handful of quirky street level story lines together. Rated: 3/4 Jun 23, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
