"Farrelly Brothers do Kafka!" dselwyns, Letterboxd

"The filmmaker's absurdist comedy leanings are on full display, rendering MANDIBULES his most surprisingly exuberant film to date... Bizarre but never confounding, Mandibles is a superbly executed tragicomedy." Natalia Keogan, Paste (2021)

"Not a minute too short or too long, this appetising 77-minute comic buddy-film from Quentin Dupieux shows the talented French musician and director abandoning the wilful Mondo Bizzarro surrealism and fourth-wall metacinema trickery of his early films and maturing into a seasoned, audience pleasing maverick." Lee Marshall, Screen Daily (2020)
