Reception

On 17 March 2022, the reporter Han Chen wrote in the Taipei Times magazine: "The acting is solid across the board, and production value high..."[5]

On 26 July 2022, the magazine Fletcher & Third wrote in a multi page review: "A rich, complex and emotive study of Taipei’s disillusioned youth, Goddamned Asura can occasionally touch on the bleak, offering a dispassionate outlook on contemporary youth culture. But it’s also oddly enchanting; an intriguing work of cinema thats both captivating and ambitious in its execution, and ultimately deserving of attention."[6]
