Mongrel is releasing in Canada via a pact sealed by producers. Some of these deals were set before Cannes while others were inked on the Croisette where the film debuted last month to largely positive notices — stars Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong came in for particular praise — and became one of the talking points of the festival.
