      Richard Kuipers Variety This moody item is an engrossing character study with potent commentary on the monumental social and economic changes in recent Chinese history, but it's less successful in bringing its mystery elements to a satisfying conclusion. Nov 2, 2017 Full Review Deborah Young Hollywood Reporter Though far too long at nearly two hours, its stylish look lends it a certain fascination while the story heralds a new filmmaker ready to tackle sensitive issues. Oct 26, 2017 Full Review Adam Patterson Film Pulse Bathed in melancholy, Yue Dong crafts a fascinating mystery buttressed by a magnificent performance by Yihong Duan. Rated: 7.5/10 Nov 20, 2018 Full Review Graham Fuller Culture Trip Though grounded in the reality of recent Chinese history, it contrives to make many of the scenes seem like dreams within dreams. In this respect, it's pure cinema. Jun 29, 2018 Full Review Sarah Ward Screen International This polished noir benefits greatly from splashing its various elements around in just the right manner.

      Audience Member China has made amazing economic development and changed drastically in recent 20 years. Such change must be interesting as a social background for any kind of movies but we do not have so many chances to see such Chinese movies. 'The Looming Storm' is a rare Chinese film which is not only a crime suspense but also depicts something they lost between Retrocession of Hong Kong in 1997 and Beijing Olympics in 2008. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
