Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
What's most unusual about Beijing Bicycle in terms of recent Chinese history is that any form of class conflict is depicted at all.

fresh:
While Wang Xiaoshuai's film doesn't plumb the depths, nor resonate with the kind of profound irony of Vittoria De Sica's 1947 classic, it is nonetheless an affecting, poignant drama.
– Steven Rea,

fresh:
Make no mistake, [Wang's] camera is saying, and don't be deceived by the Communist rhetoric -- this city is as class-ridden as any in the West.
– Rick Groen,

fresh:
With Beijing Bicycle, Wang has crafted a picturesque morality tale that slyly depicts the hopelessness of communism while pointing up the essential similarities between people of all classes.
– Peter Howell,

rotten:
An artful yet depressing film that makes a melodramatic mountain out of the molehill of a missing bike.
