Jessica Kiang Variety As with many thrillers, there are certain obvious narrative mechanics employed to produce the requisite suspense. But “Pierce” is clad in such elegant filmmaking that we mostly cannot see the gears grind. Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Jericho Tadeo The Asian Cut Low is in full control of the film, weaving a taut mystery that is, at once, heartfelt and unnerving. Rated: 4/5 Nov 27, 2024 Full Review John Lui The Straits Times (Singapore) Low never loses sight of her story’s emotional core. While the conclusion may challenge some viewers, her bold choices pay off in a psychological thriller that exposes how easily people choose comforting lies over uncomfortable truths. Rated: 4/5 Nov 7, 2024 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Constantly moving between the thriller and the family drama, while including a number of rather pointed comments about the modern, upper class Singaporean family, "Pierce" strikes an impressive balance that carries the movie from beginning to end. Rated: 7.5 Jul 21, 2024 Full Review John Berra Screen International This is a classy package which comes with considerable art-house cachet... Its core strength, though, is the narratively fleet yet psychologically layered screenplay from Low, which ensures that Pierce plays as a sophisticated genre piece.
