Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Chen's strength seems to be more with character-driven stories; here's hoping that his next film returns to more comfortable ground.
– Moira MacDonald,

fresh:
With The Promise Chen Kaige has proven enough of a professional that he can make the product. But he remains too much of an artist not to scribble on his signature.
– Geoff Pevere,

rotten:
The Promise is too full of frenetic disconnection and arbitrary comings and goings to connect meaningfully with the hearts and minds of its audience.
– Stephen Hunter,

fresh:
