Alan Ng Film Threat Mongrels earns its emotional punch not through melodrama, but in the quiet spaces between grief, identity, and resilience. Rated: 8.5/10 May 22, 2025 Full Review Chase Hutchinson The Stranger (Seattle, WA) 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. May 14, 2025 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness 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. Rated: 3.5/5 May 6, 2025 Full Review Matthew Simpson That Shelf Mongrels [is] both an exciting first feature and one worth seeking out. Oct 20, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
