Rachel Saltz New York Times Mr. Zhang, whose wide-screen compositions have an unfussy elegance, mostly manages his balancing act. His measured style gives the film a steady-as-she-goes ballast even as it follows impulsive, unsettled lives. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 9, 2013 Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) In despair at a rock club, San Bao tries to eat a drinking glass. Later, in his hospital room, his bandaged mouth becomes a nice visual metaphor for the silencing of the unmonied, the voicelessness of the dispossessed. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 15, 2013 Full Review Jamie S. Rich Oregonian Some of the film's ragged plot threads could've been snipped...but a solid cast brings life to a familiar experience halfway around the world. Rated: 3/5 Jul 4, 2013 Full Review Robin Ford Coron The List Zhang's message is universal: whether in Beijing, London or Edinburgh, one should turn to friends in times of adversity. Rated: 4/5 Jun 20, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews
