Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Recommended without reservation.
A quietly touching little Chinese film that wrings considerable beauty and poignancy from seemingly the simplest of subjects.
A film so simple and straightforward that its buried emotions catch us a little by surprise.
This is an achingly gorgeous film of great eloquence and simplicity.
