Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
In Yen Tan's glacially paced movie (every shot is relentlessly symmetrical), the actors are squares in graph-paper compositions.
– Carrie Rickey,
Philadelphia Inquirer,
30 Jan 2009
fresh:
Yen Tan's Ciao is a revelation, a minimalist work of maximum effect. It is determinedly understated and consistently expressive, beautifully composed yet never studied.
– Kevin Thomas,
Los Angeles Times,
29 Dec 2008
fresh:
It's made on the smallest of budgets and features awkward if sincere performances, yet Yen Tan's film still manages to strike a series of plangent emotional truths about speaking one's heart and moving on.
– Ty Burr,
Boston Globe,
19 Dec 2008
rotten:
Ciao moves at a snail's pace. It feels long even at its abbreviated length.
– Ruthe Stein,
San Francisco Chronicle,
12 Dec 2008
rotten:
The story is so minimal that it almost doesn't exist.
