The New York Times Lawrence Van Gelder
The characters...are well cast, well directed and skillfully acted, if not a particularly admirable lot.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jami Bernard
The group in Portraits Chinois is a little too diverse and unwieldy to keep emotional track of.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
It's all pretty entertaining in a shallow sort of way.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
Nicely acted and capably directed, but hardly memorable.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Ella Taylor
The predicaments of this whiny, unprepossessing crew inspire about as much sympathy as a celebrity divorce.
