      Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com “Art College 1994” is unassumingly sweet because it’s about young people and their eternal quest for freedom and self-expression, mostly inside their own navels. Rated: 4/4 Apr 26, 2024 Full Review Ryan Coleman Slant Magazine The precise contrast of stasis and flux, of the sublime and the quotidian, of simple personal dreams swallowed up by massive national ambitions, characterizes Liu Jian’s latest. Rated: 3/4 Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety Like its characters, “Art College 1994” gives the impression of having just too much time on its hands. Feb 26, 2023 Full Review Edward Douglas The Weekend Warrior Another example of how [the animation] medium can be used to tell a (presumably) personal story, not unlike Linklater’s animated films. Rated: 6.5/10 Apr 25, 2024 Full Review Travis DeShong In Review Online Art College 1994 doesn’t seem very interested in making any sort of defining point at all, but in rather encapsulating a specific milieu with a spellbinding attention to detail. Apr 24, 2024 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Occasionally cerebral and lyrical, but often meandering, dry, overlong and lethargic with underwritten, forgettable characters and not enough onscreen to captivate the audience.
