Mongrel leaves one with a sombre, sobering, ambiguous feeling—of rare grace amid utter despair. Go to Full Review Josh Slater-Williams IndieWire 05/20/2024

Chiang’s tough but affecting film taps into tragically universal notions of feeling invisible or ineffectual in one’s day-to-day survival. These concepts are most certainly not lost in translation. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 05/20/2024
4/5
This movie requires patience and attention, a calibration of your viewing expectations to match its stasis. Yet it’s an andante tempo that makes its moments of drama, and even sensation all the more striking. Go to Full Review Ellen E Jones Observer (UK) Oct 8
This striking debut feature from Singaporean film-maker Chiang Wei Liang, co-directed with You Qiao Yin, is a sombre and painterly work. Go to Full Review Jay Liu The Asian Cut Jul 31
3/5
'Mongrel' simply becomes far too punishing and bleak, with the filmmakers not knowing where to hold their line. Go to Full Review Kevin Harley Radio Times Jun 11
4/5
Tough viewing from the first frame alone, Mongrel is also a scrupulously well-crafted and compassionate study of extreme hardship, anchored in a nuanced portrait of a decent yet deeply conflicted man. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
