The New York Review of Books

Jonathan D. Spence

This is the first film I have seen from China that has at once such documentary verisimilitude, such comic inventiveness, and such reflective strength.

For its glimpses into the quotidian realities of the huge, emerging superpower, this story proves worth watching, despite its obliqueness, its repetitiousness and the slowness of its perpetual voyages to the city and back again.

Utilizando a montagem de forma precisa para estabelecer o ritmo da vida de seus personagens, Yimou narra uma história bem-humorada e reveladora sobre a China contemporânea, sendo auxiliando por Gong Li em um de seus melhores desempenhos.
