Anna Smith Empire Magazine 02/26/2010
2/5
Curious and interesting in many respects but emotionally light-weight and unfulfilling. Go to Full Review Nina Caplan Time Out 02/26/2010
4/5
This would be depressing, except that Mei is a delight: a feisty, shrewd young woman, uneducated but intelligent and more than capable of surviving the brickbats life keeps throwing at her. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide The Times (UK) 02/26/2010
3/5
There are few migrant clich (C)s here, just an intimate portrait of a young girl trying to work out who she is and where she wants to be. The first part of the film is more successful than the rather meandering UK-based second half. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/15/2015 Xiaolu Guo is the Todd Solondz of feminism here. See more 02/03/2012 Fairly decent attempt at showing the uglier side of migration, sometimes with and without sympathy for the main characters plight. See more 12/11/2011 Very interesting and moving film. Worth a watch! See more 12/10/2011 Interesting insight into life in China. See more 11/07/2011 Low key, interesting tale of a quite a strong young woman's journey across a cultural background. The taboos come & go & the story remains light, but overall it leaves a lasting enough impression on the viewer to question the simplicity of their own identity. See more 10/17/2011 19 June 2011 A feel bad movie which dragged. See more Read all reviews
