Top Critics Reviews

Mr. Jia is an artist, one of the most interesting filmmakers working anywhere in the world, and he made his film to bear witness to a way of life while witnesses could still be found.
– Joe Morgenstern,

fresh:
The result is surprisingly engrossing -- even lively, due in part to brief musical numbers inserted amid the interviews.

rotten:

– Wesley Morris,

The film takes on an operatic feel, moving between euphoria for the new and lament for the lost.
