Leave your thoughts about Ali Wong: Hard Knock Wife.
| Herald Sun (Australia)Leigh PaatschAs with her breakthrough 2016 special Baby Cobra, the ever-energetic and fearless Wong delivers a blinder of a set while in an advanced state of pregnancy. |
| Paste MagazineGraham TechlerHard Knock Wife is incredibly funny, building on Wong's uncompromising statement with a wealth of observational specificity and reliable bite. |
| USA TodayKelly LawlerWong uses her body and her subject matter to challenge you, but Wolf pushes the limits in every joke with a distinctive, high-pitched voice that is easy to hate. It's a cloying screech that she acknowledges sure, but it never goes away. |
| TIME MagazineAshley Hoffman[Wong's] new set is filled with searing takes on the limits of maternity leave and the disappointments of early motherhood. Dad jokes, step aside. |
| AV ClubDanette ChavezHard Knock Wife's most inspired moments come from Wong's ability to make the natural sound almost alien, and sometimes even downright terrifying. |
| The Muse/JezebelMegan ReynoldsMotherhood itself isn't a political act, but the various ways facets of society rise up to tell women how to be a mother are, certainly. The beauty of Hard Knock Wife is in hearing these gnarlier truths explored with filthy and honest verve. |
| The Straits Times (Singapore)Alison de SouzaBut Wong's signature delivery - irascible, arms akimbo and with that comical snarl - redeems those bits, as does her frank admission that parenthood is not somehow magically transformative... |
| The RingerAlison HermanWhere Baby Cobra saw Wong feign longing for a more traditional kind of femininity, in Hard Knock Wife she addresses the financial realities of her marriage head-on. |
| DeciderSean L. McCarthyHard Knock Wife serves as another battle cry to Wong's fellow mothers. |
| The Daily DotAudra SchroederIt's a well-paced special, and the energy rarely lags. |
