Chicago Reader
A highly emotional epic about what it means to be both Chinese and American.

Chicago Sun-Times
Like a flowering of talent that has been waiting so long to be celebrated. It is also one of the most touching and moving of the year's films.

The New York Times
Those unfamiliar with the book will simply appreciate a stirring, many-sided fable, one that is exceptionally well told.

Variety
Wang has made a dramatically confident move into the mainstream on his own terms with highly congenial material.

Rolling Stone
Hits hardest when it bypasses sentiment to ponder the inextricable mix of love and pain that comes with the ties that bind.
