Working with deliberately limited resources, writer-director Patrick Wang revels in technical gaucherie that would hinder lesser filmmakers. November 6, 2018 | Full Review…

It's every bit as human-scaled as the filmmaker's other work-but also, in its noble restraint, a little less involving. November 2, 2018 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

Harder to miss, however, in every grainy 16mm shot and heartfelt performance is the movie's understated soul, as Wang guides us, sometimes awkwardly, usually touchingly, from isolation and secrets into understanding and connection. November 1, 2018 | Full Review…

It's an artful portrait of a world that refuses the order we try to impose on it when we close ourselves off to heartache, doubt and pain. November 1, 2018 | Full Review…

Wang spends much of the film flailing for a direction or emotional center for his story and comes away confused and empty. January 9, 2020 | Rating: 3/10 | Full Review…

The Grief of Others is a film that externalizes these internal emotions and suggests, even implicitly, it can be absolutely cathartic to share in this process with others. December 1, 2018 | Full Review…

A quiet bruiser about repressed anger, silence, and ultimately forgiveness. It depicts complex domestic crisis in a non-linear, almost magical way with aesthetic fractures that expand the possibilities of the frame and deepen over time. November 3, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

This a much leaner film in terms of narrative incident than In the Family, though it paves the way for Patrick Wang to step into new artistic terrain. October 30, 2018 | Full Review…
