The maddening minutiae of everyday life help this little gem whiz along as bizarre subplots and moments play out.

Diario La Estrella (Fort Worth, TX)

Absurd Accident is not for everyone, it requires attention and patience, and in the end it doesn't end up being fully satisfactory. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 2/5

Cinema Escapist

Absurd Accident managed to take what could've been a dark plot and transform it into a true comedy of errors.

Mark Reviews Movies

It's the debut of writer/director Li Yuhe, who overdoes some of the film's stylistic trappings but clearly possesses a knack for comic timing and revelation.

Rated: 3/4

Film Journal International

If its structure occasionally gets in the way, Absurd Accident's hangdog humor rarely fails.
