	Author	Review
United States	Radhika Menon Decider	"Donkeyhead is provocative and unafraid to show the dark side of even the closest relationships."	POS
United States	Beatrice Loayza The New York Times	"'Donkeyhead' attempts to build out complex family dynamics with humor and an eye toward Sikh immigrant culture (...) But Darshi’s script lacks flair, and often resorts to cringe-inducing clichés"	NEG
United States	Carlos Aguilar Los Angeles Times	"The familiar but still heartrending “Donkeyhead” acknowledges that the hurt others inflict on us, though never excused, may indeed derive from their own unexpressed and unresolved trauma"	POS
United States	Jennifer Green Common Sense Media	"One or two scenes could have been cut to bring Donkeyhead down to a tighter run time. But the film offers many memorable characters and moments and plenty of food for thought about growing up and growing old."	POS
United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"Darshi’s directorial debut reconciles cultural tradition with personal identity (...) no matter how funny Donkeyhead can prove, it’s also quite devastating"	POS
