Dead Pigs Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
Funny, surreal, and understated.
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
Yan has made an engaging hodge podge of a film.
Freakin Awesome Network
Koda Kazar
Dead Pigs is a hilarious and biting satire of late-stage capitalism
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
A fluid, funny film that also plays with visual flamboyance, a relevant soundtrack, and cunning acting to make its point.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Yan fashions a quirky, engaging and feisty tale that unites the plights of kooky characters coping with an ever-changing city, country and culture. It's quite the ride.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
Dead Pigs delivers a story that is thought-provoking, decadently stylish, sprightly poignant, and joltingly funny.
AV Club
Katie Rife
Some directors look on the loneliness and soullessness of modern life and despair. Cathy Yan giggles.
The Spool
Reyzando Nawara
The result is an ensemble piece that is quirky and funny as it is compelling and gritty.
The Playlist
Isaac Feldberg
A work of ebullient satire and quietly stirring humanism, as well as a trenchant study of China's frenetic modernization as a horror show in progress, one that's every bit the equal of America's own late-capitalist nightmare.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
Yan's debut as a writer/director is a mostly sturdily constructed, and deftly edited, series of 'meanwhiles,' a sprawling narrative of loosely and closely connected people whose lives intertwine in a variety of ways.
IGN Movies
Siddhant Adlakha
A great first feature from Cathy Yan, Dead Pigs paints a vivid backdrop of globalization, wealth inequality, and the anxieties of a dual Eastern and Western existence.
New York Times
Devika Girish
It's a tonal wild ride with eccentric characters, neon-lit settings and elaborately absurd detours. Unfortunately, the ripped-from-the-headlines meat of "Dead Pigs" gets lost in these affectations.
CBR
Josh Bell
It's easy to see why this stylish, well-crafted movie brought Yan to the attention of a major studio.
Los Angeles Times
Carlos Aguilar
Thoroughly enjoyable, "Dead Pigs" arises as the origin chapter of a great storyteller and an opportune mosaic of people in a rapidly transforming superpower.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
Dead Pigs is an acerbic commentary on modern China, wrapped in an absurdist comedy and an oddball family drama
Epoch Times
Joe Bendel
It is bitingly satirical, trenchantly observant, and features a cast of characters that runs the entire social gamut. It is also deeply rooted in actual, documented events.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
An antidote to China's weightier arthouse output, settling the stomach after too much stolid social realism, effervescent as an alka-seltzer.
Film Threat
Anthony Ray Bench
Dead Pigs is a weird, weird ride. Weird in a good way? Sure, sometimes. The film is unique.
The Hollywood Reporter
Justin Lowe
Delightfully quirky.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Evan Saathoff
... offers a mosaic meditation on money and class in modern China.
