Parlant de la résistance hongkongaise face à l'envahisseur japonais en 1941, Our Time Will Come est un drame historique particulièrement bien ficelé, malgré une petite maladresse au niveau des scènes contemporaines avec Tony Leung Ka-Fai. Préférant montrer plusieurs petites missions plutôt qu'une grande histoire, Our Time Will Come s'attache alors au quotidien des hongkongais et comment certains ont été propulsés dans la résistance sans vraiment le vouloir. Wallace Huo et Zhou Xun sont très bons, mais comme d'habitude, c'est encore Eddie Peng qui brille de mille feux, présent lors des quelques fusillades du film, réalisées avec talent. L'émotion n'est jamais forcée et malgré des moyens pas à la hauteur des ambitions d'Ann Hui, le film ne tombe jamais dans le ridicule. Bonifié par un superbe score de Joe Hisaishi, Our Time Will Come est un film remarquable.

It's very poetic way to show another view of that war, there are not many dramatic moments. It's so realistic, so painful, and make me feel so hopeful.

Chinese neorealist mother-daughter version of those existential French resistance movies. Humor and pathos.

An important figure in the Hong Kong film renaissance of the 1980s, [director Ann] Hui remains under-appreciated abroad. Like many of her films, Our Time Will Come requires and rewards patience.

Like most of Hui's films, Our Time's subtlety is entrancing, withholding big dramatic moments to consider everyday behavior. This strategy speaks to Hui's tremendous gifts of directing actors and establishing a sense of place.

The evocative cinematography by Nelson Lik-wai Yu, habitual first choice of Jia Zhangke, is one of the film's highest pleasures.
