Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
This thematic 'lesson' is served up with non-didactic grace complemented by tiny bursts of humour.
– Rick Groen,
Globe and Mail,
22 Mar 2002
fresh:
For Chinese viewers, this film will play as a human drama. For Western viewers, there's almost equal interest at the edges of the screen, in the background, in the locations and incidental details that show daily life in today's China.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
With Not One Less, Zhang Yimou has fashioned what feels like an uncannily accurate portrait of a culture where Communist ideology has vanished like a brief dream, as traditional community values clash with the burgeoning cult of money.
– Leslie Camhi,
Village Voice,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Despite its deliberate austerity, Not One Less is extraordinarily rich.
– A.O. Scott,
New York Times,

fresh:
The Chinese director Zhang Yimou has a rare gift for dramatizing highly theatrical stories in highly naturalistic settings.
