Reviews

El Nuevo Herald (Miami)

Rene Jordan

Wang goes from homey intimacy to the political whirlwinds of China seamlessly, a one piece texture, without showing its seams. [Full review in Spanish]

No one will want to miss this celebration of the mother- daughter bond, that most vexed and fascinating of relationships -- and one of the most neglected themes in American film.

Both generations are fearful of revealing their true identities, yet hopeful of discovery. This is the greatest truth of The Joy Luck Club, both the film and the novel.

The film persists in telling us what to think and feel, rather than letting us have our own quiet thoughts.

Philadelphia Inquirer

Carrie Rickey

This heartrending and transcendent adaptation of Amy Tan's bestseller about a quartet of Chinese American daughters and their immigrant mothers is the ultimate movie about almost everyone's first love: Mom.
