Rendy Jones RogerEbert.com "Interior Chinatown" is a visceral and biting satire of the minuscule and stereotypical roles Asian Americans had to play in American television while being an engaging neo-noir comedy. Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Angie Han Hollywood Reporter But all this self-referentiality only does so much to disguise the fact that the central plot is rather thin — and, worse, populated by characters only slightly more dimensional than the very archetypes they’re meant to challenge. Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Jeff Ewing Collider Interior Chinatown is a relevantly novel procedural outing with a strong lead in Jimmy O. Yang, though its metafictional elements aren't utilized as well or consistently as they could be. Rated: 7/10 Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Grant Hermanns Screen Rant Charles Yu's Interior Chinatown is a wonderfully mind-bending exploration of Asian-American representation in Hollywood brought down by one thing. Rated: 8/10 Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
