Recommandations
- 90
Los Angeles Times
A gorgeous film with a vision strong enough to sustain heart-tugging, heightened by San Bao's romantic score, that verges on the sentimental. - 90
Wall Street Journal
The result is an enchanting story of love from an idealized past that endures in the mundane present. - 90
Washington Post
A beautifully textured, disarmingly simple movie about romantic devotion. - 75
Christian Science Monitor
Has a graceful simplicity that many will find hard to resist. - 75
USA Today
It's a sweet tale, but the movie's real subject is Zhang, the camera's muse that the lens adores. - 75
Boston Globe
As luminous as the star presence at its center. It's at once a touching teacher movie and an even more touching love story. - 70
TV Guide Magazine
The result is an interesting, if slightly unbalanced, hybrid: a social problem film with the warm heart of a deeply felt love story. - 50
New York Magazine (Vulture)
Predictable, not so much from his (Zhang Yimou) previous movies as from the work of the many sentimentalists who have already plowed this well-tilled turf.
