Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com The film balances the reality of these experiences with compassion, a sense of humor, and quiet observation, giving the subjects a chance to reflect on their own behaviors and memories. Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture In an openly phony world, who cares about being genuine? The Dating Game captures that idea in deceptively chilling fashion. Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Jacob Oller AV Club Violet Du Feng’s frustratingly surface-level look at China's online dating scene finds itself lost among the different facets of its broad topic. Rated: C- Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Marissa Hill Shade Studios While the film offers valuable insights into the gender imbalance and social pressures that shape the dating experiences of lower-class men, it falls short in providing a thorough examination of Hao’s methods and their long-term effectiveness. Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Megan McLachlan The Contending The Dating Game is a timely and important study of a specific group of Chinese men in a universal language. Du Feng skillfully tells their story with hilarity and heart, and by the end of the film, you’re rooting for them all to find love. Apr 7, 2025 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net It’s nothing too profound or weighty just a light frothy dating documentary. Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
