Critic Reviews for To Live (Huo zhe)
All Critics (21) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (18) | Rotten (3)
A well-crafted but in no way earth-shaking entry in the helmer's oeuvre.
Zhang's purpose is less to show the oppressive iniquities of Mao's era than to evoke the optimistic spirit that allowed people to survive it.
There is no mistaking the political toughness of this melodrama's message.
It's a good movie from a genuinely gifted filmmaker and no less worthy for not being great.
"To Live" is a simple title, but it conceals a universe.
It's a film of handsome backdrops and often complexly comic scenes, but also of stultifying pointlessness.
Audience Reviews for To Live (Huo zhe)
This was really good. Li Gong is recognizable from Hero (she's actually been in a lot of things). The scenes of mourning are painful to watch, because it is so real and honest. If you enjoyed other works by this director, (Hero, House of Flying Daggers and Curse of The Golden Flower being the most famous) you will probably enjoy this....no martial arts, however. This is a moving drama with some interesting history. Well done film.

[color=red]"To Live" is an emotionally powerful epic about a family living in China from the 1940's to the Cultural Revolution of the 1960's. I felt like this movie gave me the most realistic impression of living under Mao Zedong during this tumultuous period of time.[/color]
