Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Jia's languid style and exquisite framing complement his understated approach to the material, which opts for depth over melodrama. But "Mountains May Depart" is grounded in Zhao's delicate performance, which is her best.
– G. Allen Johnson,
San Francisco Chronicle,
10 Mar 2016
fresh:
Director Jia Zhangke offers a work of poetic prophecy in this romantic and political melodrama.
– Colin Covert,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
10 Mar 2016
fresh:
Like most of the indispensable Jia's work, this triptych film, which jumps from 1999 to 2014 and then to 2025, is intimately engaged in the push-pull between tradition and progress.
– Sheri Linden,
Los Angeles Times,
24 Mar 2016
fresh:
So confident is this director's touch that "Mountains May Depart" holds you with the humanity of its telling rather than the gloom of its conclusions.
– Ty Burr,
Boston Globe,
12 May 2016
fresh:
Another breakthrough by a director who has never stopped pushing either himself or his idea of what a Chinese movie can do and be.
