      Elizabeth Kerr Hollywood Reporter Familiar but nicely realized. Oct 24, 2017 Full Review Andrea Thompson Cultured Vultures Bitter Flowers has the kind of quiet power that films less interested in condemning than in showing how far people with few options will go to improve their constricted circumstances. Rated: 8/10 Jan 30, 2019 Full Review David D'Arcy Screen International Olivier Meys has built a drama around a troubling reality of modern China. It's just as troubling when he and Qi Xi take you inside Lina's complex character. Oct 16, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member One of my favorites from the 2018 Palm Springs Film Festival. The poignant story of a Chinese woman, Lina, wife and mother who talks her husband into supporting her bid for a good salary as a nanny in Paris. She discovers too late she has been scammed and falls into homelessness. She is rescued by a knowing Chinese woman from the same province who, like several other women, have been trapped into prostitution and can never seem to get far enough ahead to return home. An insightful and sympathetic view of how poverty, desperation, and fear of humiliation by family can lead some into sex work. This is not a beautiful romp through Paris. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
