Grace Han Asian Movie Pulse Aug 5
3.5/5
A bold first feature. "Mongrels" is by no means perfect – the film is still incredibly emotional, and perhaps, almost to a fault – but it certainly showcases Yoo’s promising directorial vision. Go to Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat May 22
8.5/10
Mongrels earns its emotional punch not through melodrama, but in the quiet spaces between grief, identity, and resilience. Go to Full Review Chase Hutchinson The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 14
As one part fades into the next, hitting plenty of familiar coming-of-age beats, the portrait it tries to paint never quite comes into focus as beautifully as the visuals do. Go to Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness May 6
3.5/5
Split into three parts, Yoo’s dramedy "Mongrels" explores familial tension amid issues of racial assimilation, cultural hegemony, and what it means to be happy. Go to Full Review Matthew Simpson That Shelf 10/20/2024
Mongrels [is] both an exciting first feature and one worth seeking out. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
