| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenSome stories drag while others have zing in this anthology; binding them is a compelling sense of cultural identity — the tension between tradition and free-market modernity. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe film’s attempt at blending humor, poignancy and melodrama results in an awkward mish-mosh. But it has heart to spare, and the performances by the multi-generational ensemble are very effective, with particularly moving work by the veterans in the cast. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyWhile there’s no great originality on display here, Beijing Love Story handles its full range of stylistic and tonal gambits with impressive assurance. A strong performance or a well-placed sober moment always brings things back to terra firma whenever they turn a bit over-the-top. |
| Washington PostMark JenkinsThe movie wavers in tone, occasionally lurching into supernatural fantasy, and withholds information in a manner that’s more annoying than tantalizing. |
| The New York TimesNicolas RapoldThere’s a little effort to give each story its own tempo and style; you notice bits and pieces plucked from other movies or TV shows. |
| Village VoiceMichael NordineSo far removed from any original signal — there are several direct references to Titanic, so it's timely, too — this nuance-free affair registers as little more than noise. |
| User ReviewDavidLatimerFinally, this is cinema at it's technical best. Beijing has never looked more glamorous, from the historic sights, the neighborhood houtongs and the modern marvels. But more impressive is the light shining on the actors, which helps us pick up every nuanced expression of this highly talented ensemble cast. Each chapter covers a perspective on relationships, plus the transformation of modern China linked to many contemporary social issues. By the end of the last story, there was not a dry eye in the audience. Recommended for all. |

| User ReviewElexise CThis movie is a bit slow at first, but near the end the plot comes together and shows love on all journeys of life. It shows all shades of love and at the end it had me in tears. |
| User ReviewTerry LSome part of this movie maybe crazy, but the real life is actually crazier. |
