Reviews
" This inconspicuous, held in drab colors with unusual film by Chinese standards openness. The meticulous observation of emotional processes, the slow narration, the persistence on faces, sometimes haunting exploration of situations puts Wang's remarkable film close to the European cinema. "
"This is incisively and movingly staged. In order to behave morally, you have to override existing morality. How far can you toggle his life and that of his loved ones? Is the life of the daughter above everything else? Injury anywhere. The love scenes rather modestly than generous. Emotions are raw, not the organs. No soap opera, but legit. Good, really good. "
