Austin Considine

New York Times

If the premise of “Lonesome” feels a little familiar, the director Wen Shipei still manages to keep us guessing.

Kate Taylor

Globe and Mail

The unlikely presence of Guangzhou, steamy by day, gritty by night, and the shifting viewpoints on the accident add an engaging originality.

Rated: 3/4

Soham Gadre

Film Inquiry

The narrative, the characters, and the visual canvas coalesce surprisingly potently for a debut film that navigates confidently within a specific shade of its filmmaker’s craft.

Roger Moore

Movie Nation

Spare, dark and gritty to a degree rare in Chinese cinema, “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” is a thoroughly engrossing film noir about guilt and a resolve to somehow make things right.

Rated: 3.5/4

Always Good Movies

Sometimes off-beat, this slice of crafty sleuthing shelters more surprises in the form of twists, which transpire from hazy flashbacks or sharp realities.

Rated: 3.5/5
