Leave your thoughts about A Family Tour.
| Slant MagazineSam C. MacYing Liang's film is righteously and vigorously angry about injustices committed by the Chinese government. |
| New YorkerRichard BrodyUnflinching, probingly analytical, and fiercely angry. |
| Film ThreatLorry KiktaThe dialogue in A Family Tour is incredible. Yang Shu and Chen Xiaolin are equally stubborn and set in their ways, showing how alike they are, while also causing them never to be on the same page. |
| Film InquiryChloe WalkerThe director trusts that his excellent actors, and the fundamental injustice at the heart of the film, are all that he needs to move the audience. And he is right. |
| Reverse ShotNick PinkertonYing sometimes drapes his themes on the surface of his movie rather than integrating them in its visual patterning. Such transgressions only somewhat dilute the plangent and poignant qualities of A Family Tour |
| indieWireDavid EhrlichA Family Tour is the work of someone whose need to reflect on his trauma is urgent enough to risk whatever hope he still has left. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckMixing its political and personal themes with passionate urgency, A Family Tour somehow manages to convey desperation and hopefulness simultaneously. |
