Leave your thoughts about A Thousand Years of Good Prayers.
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittIt's a short story of a movie: delicate, modest, beautifully observed. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasBoth a departure and a welcome return to form for Wang as an indie auteur, a beautiful and incredibly moving story of real life relationships that exudes subtlety and self-control in a refreshing way. |
| Film Journal InternationalBruce FeldA Chinese father visiting his Americanized daughter in Washington finds communication difficult, but the film offers rewards for the patient. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthyA quiet work with Ozu-like structure and concerns, but remains more an intellectual exercise than one from the heart. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersA wonderful film, Wang has regained his footing as a filmmaker and produced a story worthy of discovery. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoAn intelligent look at family dynamics set in a boring Washington State suburb where Bible-thumping Mormons come knocking on your door. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumA spare, controlled study in communication gaps and a piercing sketch of suburban American loneliness. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasRich in revealing detail and apt in its use of everyday Spokane settings, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers shows that Wang remains a master explorer of the landscape of the human heart. |
| Washington City PaperTricia OlszewskiThe emptiness felt by Yiyun Li's characters doesn't seem as much the result of an emotional void than a too-thin plot. |
| AV ClubTasha RobinsonMost of the film isn't as willing to reach out to viewers, and most won't be willing to do all the work in order to connect with it. |
