      Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News More than just a satisfying slab of neo-noir but a peel-back-the-layers statement on the human tolls of growth in China. Rated: 3/4 Jan 26, 2023 Full Review Brandon Yu New York Times Turns a crime soap opera into an allegory about the moral costs of rapacious expansion — to middling effect. Jan 17, 2023 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International It's a solid picture which should be of interest to festival programmers looking to showcase rising talent from China, but the film's uneasy tone of morose melodrama might hamper its trajectory. Dec 6, 2020 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome All of Back to the Wharf’s major plot points rely on a shared history between the two lead characters. There should be unbearable tension between Li Tang and Song Hao, but that's not the case and the film suffers for that. Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Sarah Boslaugh TheArtsStl ... a film noir setup if ever there was one—an essentially good person, victimized by outside forces, puts a foot wrong once and the course of their life is irrevocably altered for the worse. Rated: 7/10 Jan 17, 2023 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation You don’t have to look hard to see the criticisms of “The Way Things Work in China” tucked into the somber, slow-burn film noir. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 13, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
