Free and Easy

"Watching Geng’s vision with script and character unfold is often enough to hold interest." 

"This is a fascinating calling card for Geng, who shows an impressive mastery of the formal elements of cinema and a talent for boiling down complex societal issues and ideas into sober and seemingly straightforward scenes." 

"A wry exercise in absurdism whose most imaginative idea is a soap bar that instantly puts people to sleep, 'Free and Easy' may have the same effect on some viewers. But those who can roll with its measured pace and playfully nonsensical story will find the sum impact drolly diverting." 

"An offbeat, sidelong glance at Chinese society which combines a striking visual impact with underplayed, deadpan humour."
