Jacek’s life is thrown wildly off course by a terrible work accident that leaves him completely disfigured. Eagerly followed by the Polish media, he becomes the first person in the country to receive a face transplant. Though he may be celebrated as a national hero and martyr, he no longer recognizes himself in the mirror.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Screen International by Allan Hunter

As free-wheeling as a Preston Sturges farce, the handsome-looking Mug feels scattershot at times but it does convey the sense of a Poland racing towards hell in a hand cart.

Variety by Jessica Kiang

Szumowska...wants to tackle manifold issues, often unrelated to each other, and her attention feels magpie-ish and unsettled.

The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw

Mug is a strange, engaging film – well and potently acted and directed, a drama that puts you inside its extended community with a mix of robust realism and a streak of fantasy comedy.
