An Unfinished Film
(2024)
Publish Date: May 16, 2024
"Director Lou Ye delivers both a powerful rebuke against excessive state intervention into private lives, and a celebratory ode to the resilience of the masses (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"
South China Morning Post
The Roundup: Punishment
(2024)
Publish Date: February 23, 2024
"The simple story is bolstered by brilliant sound effects, Ma’s endearing tech illiteracy, and Park Ji-hwan’s performance as his sidekick (...) Rating: *** (out of 5)"
South China Morning Post
Black Tea
(2024)
Publish Date: February 21, 2024
"A massive disappointment (...) It does not live up to its promise, with stilted dialogue, shallow characters and a tone-deaf representation of the African diaspora’s experience in the country"
South China Morning Post
Project Silence
(2023)
Publish Date: May 23, 2023
"Half-baked twists, misplaced comedy and forced sentimentality run rife, while the film’s most interesting character conflict remains only faintly sketched (...) Rating: ** (out of 5)"
South China Morning Post
The Breaking Ice
(2023)
Publish Date: May 22, 2023
"Bolstered by flowing camerawork and a dynamic performance from Zhou Dongyu, the film is an enjoyable drama (...) Rating: *** (out of 5)"
South China Morning Post
Only the River Flows
(2023)
Publish Date: May 22, 2023
"What is not in doubt is his standing as one of China’s most complex cineastes (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"
South China Morning Post
Youth (Spring)
(2023)
Publish Date: May 22, 2023
"The film offers an immersive and affecting overview of the joy and angst experienced by the young, listless and faceless masses on society's margins (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"
South China Morning Post
Next Sohee
(2022)
Publish Date: June 1, 2022
"A full-throated condemnation of the exploitation and abandonment of disfranchised young people by employers, schools and the authorities alike (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"
South China Morning Post
Plan 75
(2022)
Publish Date: June 1, 2022
"Hayakawa has delivered something at once harrowing in its ambience, humane at its core and hard-hitting in its critique against the ageist mores of a cold, pragmatic society (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"
South China Morning Post
Return to Seoul
(2022)
Publish Date: May 22, 2022
"Though Chou is neither a woman nor a Korean, nor an adoptee, he has managed to find something in 'Return to Seoul' that he clearly connects with, and that resonates with anyone else looking for their own place in the world, too."
The Hollywood Reporter
Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains
(2019)
Publish Date: May 28, 2019
"A gentle and engaging family drama (...) Xiaogang's directorial debut is as mesmerizing and immersive as the legendary 14th century landscape painting that inspired it."
The Hollywood Reporter
The Halt
(2019)
Publish Date: May 24, 2019
"[It] ranks as Diaz's most straightforward and politically charged film to date (...) Even his most ardent supporters, however, could find the film lacking in the wonderful subtlety of 'Norte' [or] the emotional power of 'The Woman Who Left'"
The Hollywood Reporter
To Live to Sing
(2019)
Publish Date: May 21, 2019
"A heartrending account of one person’s increasingly frantic but ultimately futile efforts to bring back the glory days (...) Anchored by an intense, highly convincing turn from opera performer turned actor Zhao Xiaoli"
The Hollywood Reporter
My Little One
(2019)
Publish Date: March 18, 2019
"A visually striking road movie (...) [It] ends up ringing as empty of meaning as the arid and sparse spaces they have strived to capture on screen."
The Hollywood Reporter
Chinese Portrait
(2018)
Publish Date: March 17, 2019
"A subjective and utterly revealing snapshot of the state of Wang's country (...) The documentary provides a key to understanding Wang and the sixth generation Chinese filmmakers of which he is a part"
The Hollywood Reporter
Winter After Winter
(2019)
Publish Date: March 17, 2019
"A polished, allegorical slab of pastoral fatalism (...) 'Winter After Winter' could have gone deeper in its contemplation of moral dilemmas had everybody been given a voice."
The Hollywood Reporter
Vanishing Days
(2018)
Publish Date: March 1, 2019
"'Vanishing Days' marks the emergence of an artist with an audacious vision (...) The pleasure of the film lies in slipping and sliding along with the characters down the rabbit hole."
The Hollywood Reporter
A First Farewell
(2018)
Publish Date: February 27, 2019
"A subtle yet incisive look at how China's Muslim minority grapples with the pressure to ditch their own culture (...) 'First Farewell' thrives on humanity rather than dogma, and offers poetry rather than propaganda"
The Hollywood Reporter
Elisa & Marcela
(2019)
Publish Date: February 13, 2019
"Wanting to make a point, the filmmaker has delivered a piece devoid of the emotional nuances that made 'Brokeback Mountain' or 'Carol', to cite two seminal same-sex love stories, such gripping and heartbreaking viewing."
The Hollywood Reporter
Take Point
(2018)
Publish Date: January 22, 2019
"'Take Point' combines a clever plot, cracking action choreography and surprisingly astute analysis of the power games shaping politics on the Korean peninsula today."
