Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

This is soupy, romantic slop from Mika Kaurismäki, the kind of photogenic sentimentality that tends to feature heavily on the menu of Lasse Hallström’s films.

Rated: 2/5

Midnight East

Calm and serene as the green landscape of Northern Finland where it is set, Mika Kaurismäki’s Master Cheng flows at a gentle pace… It will not jar or distress you, especially as so much of its narrative is utterly predictable.

It’s as reassuring as wonton soup.

The Mail on Sunday (UK)

If you liked Chocolat or Ang Lee’s Eat Drink Man Woman, you’ll enjoy this. Although it will make you desperately hungry.

Rated: 4/5

The Arts Desk

As a movie, it's all a bit sweet and pointless except as an advert for Finland as a holiday destination and Chinese cuisine.

Rated: 2/5

Beautiful movie. Perfect timing. Realistic. High quality acting. Perhaps not for action movie lovers though. Hardly noticed the subtitles.
