Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News One of the most invigorating debuts you’ll likely to see this year. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 22, 2023 Full Review Austin Considine New York Times If the premise of “Lonesome” feels a little familiar, the director Wen Shipei still manages to keep us guessing. Mar 16, 2023 Full Review 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 Sep 13, 2021 Full Review 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. Apr 30, 2023 Full Review Filipe Freitas 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 Mar 23, 2023 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat This might be Wen's first feature film, but it heralds a top-notch director with a lot of swagger and much to say.
