Andrew Chan Film Comment Magazine In his determination to position the film as a universal love story, Lou sacrifices the political engagement and specificity that makes the work of queer auteurs... so valuable Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times Portrays contemporary China as a seething hotbed of erotic curiosity and discontent. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 6, 2010 Full Review David Fear Time Out So what do you do once the Chinese authorities forbid you from making movies for five years? Rated: 3/5 Aug 4, 2010 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row An observant and haunting exploration of sexual identity in China. Rated: 3/4 Aug 5, 2019 Full Review Peter Keough Boston Phoenix Artful, dreary, and pointless -- it's time for Lou Ye to lighten up. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 9, 2010 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International This tale of gay men and their woes in China is courageous, but too self-consciously directed and lugubriously uninvolving.

Sarah Y I love the documentary style of this movie. It's very realistic yet artistic. You probably won't resonate much if you were not Chinese. Bravo for the director making this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/18 Full Review Audience Member I find this to be a terribly depressing film but it the idea can be universal for any homosexual in any part of the world. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing film and very important for Gay and Trans movement. Captures the agony of closeted life of the average Chinese gay person. Not to be missed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member bon sujet mais film trop long trop fade Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Homosexuality in contemporary China ? Really moving, but a bit long. But really moving. Love, lust, and desires are part of the human condition, wherever we come from ! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Although I was disappointed by his previous movie, Summer Palace, this is really a great one. I am touched. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
