John DeFore

The Hollywood Reporter

Home-movie-like document of a disastrous film production offers a few laughs.

A delightful tale of filmmaking woe.

V.A. Musetto

New York Post

Why does Kofman, who co-directs with Tanner King Barklow, insist upon making the movie mostly about himself? He gets into nearly every frame, often in closeup.

Rated: 1.5/4

NYC Movie Guru

Fun and amusing albeit a little too much navel-gazing and low on insight.

Rated: 7.85/10

Ethan Alter

Television Without Pity

Ultimately, Unmade in China is ultimately less about the experience of making a movie in China than it is a chronicle of one director's wounded ego.

Film Journal International

Ugly Americans and not so pretty Chinese dominate this cheesy doc about a cheesy group of L.A. filmmakers trying to make a cheesy film in China with Chinese backing.

You're One Frustrated Voice In A Very Large 1.4-million ppl Crowd, No Wonder No One Is Listen To In China. What Frustration Comes Across As 'Entermaint' Is Lost A Little With The Destined Inevitably Of Failure Of The Project Depicted In This Doco. An Interesting Fly-On-Wall Experience Tho.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
