Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Visually ravishing and emotionally cold, Zhang's third feature is one long series of pushes and pulls.
– Rob Nelson,
Village Voice,
27 Feb 2007
fresh:
A beautifully crafted and richly detailed feat of consciousness-raising and a serious drama with the verve of a good soap opera.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
Gong Li delivers a performance of exquisite expressiveness that, like the film itself, is unnerving in its emotional nakedness.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,
12 May 2001

A near-perfect movie that often recalls the visual purity and intensity of silent films.
