United Kingdom | Time Out | "A subversive tribute to the vitality and endurance of Chinese peasant culture." | POS |
United States | The New York Times | "Its supposedly innovative epic style looks decidedly old-fashioned here." | NEU |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "There is a strength in the simplicity of this story, in the almost fairy-tale quality of its images and the shocking suddenness of its violence, that Hollywood in its sophistication has lost." | POS |
