Reviews for Ethan Mao
1 - 7 (sorted by date)
Top CriticIt builds tension gradually but surely to an exceptionally strong payoff.
08/11/05
Top CriticOverly ambitious in its themes and crude in its execution.
07/15/05
Top CriticAwkward dialogue, amateurist acting and uninspired direction.
06/17/05
Top CriticEven allowing for the burdens of low-budget filmmaking, Ethan Mao is little more than a revenge fantasy for anyone whose parents ever gave him or her a hard time.
06/16/05
Top CriticAn exhausting exercise in genre mixing.
06/14/05
Top CriticIt'd be unfair to reveal whether Ethan's prayers go answered, but viewers can take comfort in knowing that their own prayers will be: Yes, this movie, eventually, comes to an end.
