"The Mutt is a step away from traditional linear storytelling, delivering nuanced pictures of strained relationships, internally as well as with others, and the struggle to find where one's true self resides. If you're a lover of Dostoevsky, it's a must-see, as this appreciation and love of his work is not often dramatized."

"Do you remember the feeling when you close a Dostoevsky novel? Here—it's even better! On the one hand, you respect yourself for going all the way through without faltering. On the other—it's a catharsis, with a sense of deep relief."

"The play is wonderfully crafted, a fine example of minimalism. A sprawling novel is distilled down to six characters, with one storyline at the core and the action tightly wound around it. A simple yet clear set, a small hall, video where modern Russia looks like in Dostoevsky's time. Overall, an excellent performance—I liked it."
