      Marta Barber Miami Herald The beauty of Huo Ji Anqi's film transcends China's lush Hunan province to focus on the peace that comes from within. Rated: 3/4 Apr 8, 2005 Full Review Jeff Strickler Minneapolis Star Tribune Recommended without reservation. Rated: 4/4 Feb 17, 2005 Full Review Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune A quietly touching little Chinese film that wrings considerable beauty and poignancy from seemingly the simplest of subjects. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 15, 2005 Full Review Phoebe Flowers South Florida Sun-Sentinel Look at Me is sly, discomfiting and a great exploration of fame and beauty. Rated: 3.5/4 May 5, 2005 Full Review Meg Jones Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Viewers who don't mind reading subtitles will be rewarded as they gradually get sucked in by the lush cinematography and a first-class, heartfelt story. Rated: 3/4 Apr 28, 2005 Full Review M.E. Russell Oregonian It's a beautiful, slightly devastating parable. Apr 1, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
