Namrata Joshi The New Indian Express Mongrel leaves one with a sombre, sobering, ambiguous feeling—of rare grace amid utter despair. Sep 24, 2024 Full Review Josh Slater-Williams IndieWire 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. Rated: B May 20, 2024 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 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. Rated: 4/5 May 20, 2024 Full Review John Lui The Straits Times (Singapore) Singaporean writer-director Chiang Wei Liang’s unflinching debut feature can be a tough watch. Then again, it deals with a tough subject matter. Rated: 4/5 Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Kevin Fullerton The List Director Chiang Wei Liang has created a stark and austere work of unbroken shots and an unmoving camera, punctuating the rundown setting with viscerally confronting imagery. Within these bleak tableaus is a story of incredible empathy. Rated: 4/5 Sep 2, 2024 Full Review James Hanton FILMHOUNDS Magazine Chiang's debut feature is at once a difficult but rewarding watch that favours subtlety as much as overt anger, and that goes to great lengths to treat its central characters with the respect not afforded to them by the society in which they live. Rated: 4 / 5 Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
