Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Chienn wisely keeps his distance, framing Ling in hand-held longshots through windows, across crowds, behind someone's shoulder, emphasising her isolation. Rated: 3/5 Apr 26, 2015 Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies Modest in scope, but barely puts a foot wrong. Rated: 4/5 Apr 25, 2015 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian Stylistically, this is very much the Tsai Ming-liang school of sad, damp poeticism, but thankfully without Tsai's ponderous torpor and studied obliqueness. Rated: 3/5 Apr 25, 2015 Full Review Andrew Heskins easternKicks.com A stunning performance by Chen Shiang-Chyi leads an emotive portrait of a woman falling into the sidelines... Rated: 4/5 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Patrick Gamble CineVue It's ultimately Chen's nuanced and devastatingly poignant performance that lifts this slow burning study of gender inequality and female repression into a new stratosphere of filmmaking. Rated: 4/5 Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Tom Birchenough The Arts Desk Taiwanese director Chienn Hsiang has given his lead actress Chen Shiang-chyi a role of rare complexity in Exit, and she dominates this bleakly naturalistic slice-of-life film completely. Rated: 4/5 Nov 20, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
