“Tsai’s Stray Dogs is a masterpiece of social-realism, a distinctive and beguiling study of society’s displaced and marginalised that plays to the beat of its own drum and refuses to conform to cinema’s own commodification.” — Patrick Gamble, CineVue
“Every shot of Stray Dogs has been built with utter formal mastery; every sequence exerts an almost telepathic grip.” — Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
