A heartbreaking, beautiful movie that gains strength from its deep characterizations.
A film of wonderful looseness and innovation. Set free to film fakes, the director is the real thing.
The comic, tragic and monumentally beautiful new film by writer-director Jia Zhangke (Platform).
Maverick Chinese director Jia Zhangke examines the rapidly changing face of China as its economy edges further toward a modified form of market capitalism with yet another complex, multicharacter masterpiece.
The movie is long and slow. Either you will fall into its rhythm, or you will grow restless.
While the film feels overlong at two hours 20 minutes, there's a seductive stillness to its enveloping mood.
The World's dull weave of frustrated romances and worker exploitation is far too obvious, and Jia can only relieve the tedium so many times.
