CRITICS REVIEWS

Donkeyhead has scored 7.2/10 on IMDb [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14064072/].
So, let’s see what the critics have to say.

Beatrice Loayza from New York Times says
[https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/20/movies/donkeyhead-review.html], “Despite her
minor rebellions, Mona remains a frustratingly opaque character; a
stereotypically troubled woman whose eventual awakening merits a shrug at most.”

Jared Mobarak from The Film Stage wrote
[https://thefilmstage.com/donkeyhead-review-agam-darshi-netflix/], “No matter
how funny Donkeyhead can prove, it’s also quite devastating. Just because the
other three could survive [childhood] better doesn’t mean they avoided scars.”

Los Angeles Times declared the film
[https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2022-01-20/review-secrets-and-unresolved-trauma-fuel-heartrending-donkeyhead]
as, “Familiar but still heartrending…”
