Eli Friedberg Slant Magazine At times, Resurrection seems to outright taunt viewers for trying to make sense of it all. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Tomris Laffly Elle The most adventurous and formally ambitious film of this year’s Cannes competition. A soul-stirring feat that will inspire generations to come. Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Justin Chang The New Yorker There’s another of those one-shot wonders in Bi’s transcendent third feature, “Resurrection,” but the movie as a whole is an altogether stranger, more mercurial miracle than its predecessors. Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Daniel Eagan ScreenAnarchy Bi Gan's films are events to be savored, examples of how artistry and technique can expand cinema's potential. Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Kaveh Jalinous Under the Radar While Resurrection demands patience, it never feels slow or boring. Because the film’s identity changes minute by minute, it’s almost impossible to feel like the plot is going nowhere. Rated: 7.5/10 Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Dustin Chang Floating World Bi, with Kaili Blue and Long Days, cultivated cinema as a waking dream with languorous filmic language with implausibly long takes and dreamlike atmosphere. Resurrection, its ironic title notwithstanding, is an elegy to the cinema and its history. Oct 5, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
