[A] resolutely humane but fiercely unsentimental film.

Maxwell Rabb

Chicago Reader

Tsang chooses to forgo much attention to plot or character development, instead prioritizing mood, choosing to harness grief in its pure form.

Ross McIndoe

Slant Magazine

Blue Sun Palace’s tale is filled with quiet spaces, and the way the texture of this quiet changes over the course of the film is a testament to its power.

Rated: 3/4

Screen Rant

Blue Sun Palace is a deliberately paced drama which, while reflective of the difficulties grief can bring, also displays life's complicated layers.

Rated: 7/10

Pete Hammond

Deadline Hollywood Daily

This is ultimately about longing, loneliness, grief, and finding a place in a challenging environment. It is indeed also about the need to feel, yes touch, but not in obvious ways we might expect.

In Review Online

All the essential questions raised throughout revolve around the film’s form: the attractions of cinema here well and truly usurped any (emotional) attachment to cinema.
