One of the richest films of the past decade.
Expansive and undeniably brilliant.
Awesome filmmaking. But it doesn't make for easy film-watching.
The movie makes up in sweep and splendor what it lacks in psychological depth and dramatic impact.
An intellectually engaging movie. But Mr. Jia's careful objectivity and regard for material detail are not matched by narrative rigor.
After lulling us into a neartorpor, Jia sneaks in one of the most gut-punching endings in recent memory.
