3/4
The film does not offer excuses for violence, and neither should we; instead, it prompts reflection on where compassion and control are needed and where the pursuit of them falters. Go to Full Review Thelma Adams AARP Movies for Grownups Dec 5
4/5
Liu, in a challenging, unvarnished part far from her more polished characters in Charlie’s Angels or TV’s Elementary, does some of her best work, making a large impact on a smaller canvas. Go to Full Review Lisa Kennedy New York Times Dec 4
In its march toward resolution, “Rosemead” never falters in its compassion, and asks the same of us. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 9h
Rosemead (a drama based on a true story) takes an unflinching look at the unraveling of a family where a widow feels increasingly helpless about her teenage son's schizophrenia. The movie also examines cultural stigmas about mental illness. Go to Full Review Murjani Rawls Substream Magazine 9h
The film doesn't try to paint a rosy view or look at the bright side because sometimes there just isn't one. It allows us to sit uncomfortably and think about how desperation and love can drive us to do the unthinkable.  Go to Full Review Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network 18h
