A young lawyer (Lucy Sheen) has an affair with an heir (David Yip) while executing a complex will in London's Chinatown.

Guardian

Ping Pong is eminently likable, though for me there is something perhaps a little soft-edged and carefully paced which dampens the energy a bit.

Rated: 3/5

Sight & Sound

The cumbersome thriller plot provides an all too neat solution.

It's just barely scrutable.

Radio Times

The plot is loose and the direction occasionally flat, but with flashes of wry surrealism, this is an engaging, amiable and quirky portrait of displacement and reconciliation.

Rated: 3/5

The Spectator

It is engaging, humorous and observant, its mundane texture heightened at times by sinister little pieces of magic.

Great movie that's underrated and when you can understand it then only you truly can you admire the movie and appreciate it for what it means. It touches on Chinatown in London and it's beautifully done. It educated me on the culture... the Movie made me feel something I've never felt before and understand who I am as an individual. The music score is beautiful I'm so glad that film for has taken this movie under its Wing and giving it some love.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
