Forge Ratings & Reviews
Spectrum Culture
Joel Copling
Forge is a nicely focused dual character study featuring some solid performances and a good amount of internalized tension.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A slow-burning dramatic thriller that builds up suspense gradually.
InSession Film
James D. Williams
Ng's second feature film shows audiences that she continues to wield a mighty pen and the directing skills to go far in the entertainment industry.
The Playlist
Warren Cantrell
Like the paintings Coco and Raymond are slinging, this one has the look of a good movie, yet is a spirited imitation at best.
Beyond the Cinerama Dome
Tina Kakadelis
Forge is weighed down by some of the expected genre tropes of heist flicks, but manages to weave its own story about the intersection of identity and ambition in the capitalist hellscape we all live in.
In Review Online
Chris Mello
Because its art world probing doesn't go deep enough to find a truly sticky idea, we're left with a few interesting questions lacquered over a slow, paint-by-numbers movie that unfortunately never quickens the pulse.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
Ng has created a space where all of these ideas are at play simultaneously, where we see characters we haven't seen before, operating in new and surprising contexts.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Examining familiar themes from a unique cultural perspective, this sleek low-budget crime drama is taut and twisty enough to compensate for an uneven script.
The MacGuffin
Allen Almachar
Despite the more laid back, methodical approach, Forge still manages to say some interesting things about the nature of art and individual ambition.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[T]he film become[s] as much a study in self-deception as it is a thriller about more criminal acts of deceit.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
Ms. Ng has created something on par with Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can with strong writing and character developments, making Forge a movie that absolutely should be sought out.
Behind The Lens
Debbie Lynn Elias
Stylish without becoming superficial, emotionally layered without sacrificing tension, and thematically resonant without feeling self-important.
MiamiArtZine
Rubén Rosario
The ending, in particular, feels abrupt and not well thought out, as if the filmmaker had painted herself into a corner.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
The production design is surprisingly polished for an indie film, lending the world of high-stakes forgery a sleek, immersive quality. Ng has a solid eye for directing, and at times you'd swear you're watching a big budget Hollywood project.
JoySauce.com
Siddhant Adlakha
It's deliberate in its drama, but languorous in its unveiling, taking its sweet time to put its pieces together despite tipping its hand for the audience in advance.
IndieWire
Christian Zilko
One of the more entertaining films of this years' SXSW, "Forge" might end up bringing its director into the same spotlight that Coco wanted so badly.
Next Best Picture
Cody Dericks
The film is slick and well-constructed, but much like a supposed work of fine art painted on a craft store canvas, it's simply not as profound or elevated as it wants to be.
Screen Rant
Graeme Guttmann
Forge is a well-directed thriller about a unique side of the criminal underworld and though it never fully takes off, it's still an entertaining film.
Awards Buzz
Abe Friedtanzer
This film makes great use of all of its just under two hours, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats to see how this story all plays out and whether it's ever really possible to root only for the good guys.
AwardsWatch
Ryan McQuade
Forge feels like a mix of Out of Sight and To Live and Die in L.A., while also patiently carving its own voice within a high stakes world of art and deception.
