A work of uncommon emotional density.

G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle

There is artistry and a fabulous ambiguity coursing through Hou's meditative film.

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

A ravishing bauble about la dolce vita in Taiwan.

John Powers, L.A. Weekly

Recalls the unease that crept over the world's youth back at the turn of the last century.

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

The combination of the thick sensuality of Mark Lee Ping-bing's cinematography and the gradual fascination that Hou's measured rhythms exert keep you watching.
