Tsai's confidence in the deep power of silence drives home the film's inner convictions. Its surface works coolly, intriguingly and, happily, feebly in opposition to the heart of the matter.

At times, Tsai's approach makes viewing this film like watching paint dry, but what a sublime design it makes.
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle

Alternates between deadpan comedy and heartbreaking loneliness and isn't afraid to provoke introspection in both its characters and its audience.
