Julia Cooper

Globe and Mail

A bit too hammy at moments, Meditation Park is otherwise a complex film that hews with tenderness to Asian stereotypes in order to reflect back their often-obscured depths.

Rated: 3.5/4

Richard Crouse

Strong supporting work from Sandra Oh and Don McKellar highlights the strong support system that helps prop Maria up in her time of need but it is the personal story of awakening that lingers.

Rated: 3.5/5

As such, Meditation Park holds an important zeitgeist of our time, well-worth the trip to catch it.

Meditation Park is mostly a complex and compassionate look at marriage, families, aging and the immigrant experience.

The movie only finds real, if tentative, happiness when it sticks with the timeworn woman and her empty bag.
