A.O. Scott New York Times A brave and wrenching new documentary from China Rated: 4/5 Jan 14, 2011 Full Review Bill Weber Slant Magazine This documentary of a makeshift community of Chinese citizens caught in a Dickensian charade of Beijing bureaucracy finds hope among the hopeless and pride in the hearts of outcasts. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 12, 2011 Full Review David Fear Time Out This guerrilla-cinema essay is more than just a look at China's judicial morass; it's a dispatch from the front lines of a dictatorship. Rated: 4/5 Jan 12, 2011 Full Review Eric Monder Film Journal International Sad and sobering account of human-rights violations in modern-day China. Jan 18, 2011 Full Review Chris Cabin Filmcritic.com epic and ambitious Rated: 4/5 Jan 13, 2011 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews A film that shows how China's poor go through a Kafkaesque nightmare in a largely futile effort to get justice through Beijing's petition offices. Nominally ombudsmen, these offices largely serve to prevent justice from taking place. Jan 13, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
