Critic Reviews for The Grief of Others

All Critics (12) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (1)

It's every bit as human-scaled as the filmmaker's other work-but also, in its noble restraint, a little less involving.

A.A. Dowd
AV Club
An unusual and involving if sometimes demanding and difficult movie.

November 2, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Matt Zoller Seitz
RogerEbert.com
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.

Robert Abele
Los Angeles Times
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.

Bilge Ebiri
New York Times
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.

Wes Greene
Slant Magazine
Offers many quiet, often character-driven rewards but struggles to become larger than the sum of its parts.

Boyd van Hoeij
Hollywood Reporter
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…

Nathanael Hood
Unseen Films
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.

Tynan Yanaga
Film Inquiry
Working with deliberately limited resources, writer-director Patrick Wang revels in technical gaucherie that would hinder lesser filmmakers.

Sam Weisberg
L.A. Weekly
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.

Glenn Heath Jr.
MUBI
While the subject matter...amounts to standard fare, audiences can all the more appreciate the thoughtful rigor applied by a team of artists working from page to screen.
