Sheri Linden

Los Angeles Times

Moving between a present-day mother-daughter clash of values and a personal history of life under Mao's regime, her docudrama is an awkward mix.

Rated: 2.5/5

New York Times

The film's subject matter is epochal, its delivery less so.

Village Voice

[Its] poignancy is lessened by its awkward formal devices.

NYC Movie Guru

Sporadically intriguing and poignant, yet meandering and incomplete. It caters more to the heart than to the mind.

Rated: 6.2/10

David Noh

Film Journal International

This documentary about a Chinese mother-daughter relationship veers uncertainly from family drama to an overall survey of Communism's rise and devastating human effect.
