An elegant, occasionally inspired debut that more than earns our anticipation for the vista we'll uncover with the next turn of the scroll. Go to Full Review Clarence Tsui The Hollywood Reporter 05/28/2019
A gentle and engaging family drama that ebbs and flows. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International 05/23/2019
It's defiantly undramatic, but, like the languid river water that flows through the town, this leisurely approach delivers unexpected rewards. Go to Full Review Miguel Martín Maestro El antepenúltimo mohicano 05/07/2020

Alarmingly accurate in all... technical decisions. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse 04/13/2020
the fact that the story manages to focus on almost all members of the family, allows the filmmaker to make a number of social and political comments regarding Chinese society. Go to Full Review Richard Yu Cinema Escapist 12/07/2019

william d @acsdoug 05/09/2021 Not much happens over the course of two and a half hours, and I must admit I had trouble keeping track of all the characters. Still, I liked this movie. The cinematography and direction are excellent, and the film's theme - family members do their best to cope with what life throws at them - is universal. See more camille l 01/14/2020 Le premier film de Gu Xiaogang est une chronique sur une année d'une famille chinoise composée de quatre frères tous plus différents les uns que les autres. Chaque saison se centrant sur un frère sans pour autant être traités de manière réellement équitable, la narration semble organique, ce qui appuie le réalisme du film. Les quatre acteurs principaux sont formidables. Gu Xiaogang mêle l'humour à l'émotion de manière efficace tout en filmant les monts Fuchun avec délectation, enchaînant les plans séquences remarquables sans que cela ressemble à un simple exercice de style. Gu Xiaogang a annoncé qu'il en ferait une trilogie et on attend la suite avec impatience. See more Read all reviews
