Jessica Kiang Variety An elegant, occasionally inspired debut that more than earns our anticipation for the vista we'll uncover with the next turn of the scroll. Jun 11, 2019 Full Review Clarence Tsui The Hollywood Reporter A gentle and engaging family drama that ebbs and flows. May 28, 2019 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International It's defiantly undramatic, but, like the languid river water that flows through the town, this leisurely approach delivers unexpected rewards. May 23, 2019 Full Review Miguel Martín Maestro El antepenúltimo mohicano Alarmingly accurate in all... technical decisions. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 5/5 May 7, 2020 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse 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. Apr 13, 2020 Full Review Richard Yu Cinema Escapist Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains demonstrates deep roots in Chinese culture...besides being set in a literal shan shui environment, the film also assumes the essence of a shan shui painting Dec 7, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

william d 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review camille l 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
