Leave your thoughts about Beginning of the Great Revival.
| VarietyRichard KuipersA Chinese propaganda film without the heavy dogma and dour treatment that would have been expected a generation ago, Beginning of the Great Revival is a slick and lavish historical epic charting the 1921 formation of the Chinese Communist Party. |
| The Hollywood ReporterMaggie LeeA worthy history lesson on the founding of the Chinese Communist Party with only partially entertaining aspects. |
| Slant MagazineBill WeberBeginning of the Great Revival is muddled, all right, but it's the helter-skelter speed at which it ticks off names and incidents, both in hopelessly confused action and on-screen text, that seems nearly unprecedented. |
| Boxoffice MagazineVadim RizovThere hasn't been such an egregiously self-congratulating piece of Communist propaganda since, arguably, the peak of '60s Soviet musicals, but Revival is so repetitive and po-faced that there's no kitsch value to be had. |
| The New York TimesAndy WebsterIt demonstrates that mainstream Chinese cinema can be as guilty of self-indulgent overstatement as anything out of the West. |
