To see it is to sit there for long stretches amazed at how clumsy, fake and misguided it is. But then, five minutes later you might easily be riveted and moved by its awkward brilliance. Dec 7, 2012 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Trevor St. John is cute and broody-mouthed as the deceased lover; Wang, the movie's writer-director, is touchingly, disarmingly open; and the kid, Sebastian Banes, is adorable. Nov 13, 2012 | Full Review…

As Wang holds us in rapt attention, not only with his steady pacing, but with the hard realism of the screenplay, the characters retain a coldness that never breaks. Jun 1, 2012 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Wang chooses gentle storytelling as a tool of persuasion rather than soap-box hectoring to make his point: that love - in all its forms - can transcend the greatest obstacles. May 31, 2012 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

This deeply humanistic, profoundly touching work representing independent cinema at its finest should be seen by far wider audiences. May 5, 2012 | Full Review…

Wang has created what sounds like a hot topic potboiler on paper and made a film that's as hopefully humanistic as it is melancholically realistic. Aug 6, 2019 | Full Review…

Yet the film reveals itself to be confident in every one of its choices, establishing its own terms in how an audience familiarizes themselves within its world with startling naturalism, and it grows to be beautiful in form and function. Dec 17, 2018 | Full Review…

On paper, In the Family is an 'issue movie'...But in practice, it's a made-to-scale love story and a thoughtful family drama. In other words, it's a true rarity of contemporary cinema. [Blu-ray] Aug 8, 2013 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…
