This minimalist epic amply showcases Wang's gifts for Chekhovian-style drama infused with generous doses of subtle humor. Oct 26, 2018 | Full Review…

A warm and prickly humanist triumph that features no movie stars, disperses its attention across a large ensemble and feels meticulously handcrafted in every respect. Oct 25, 2018 | Full Review…

[It] speaks about just how inseparable art and life is-the ways we use it to heal, grow, and see. Art is that which makes us human. Feb 24, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…
