Movie Reviews

Filmcritic.com - 8/10 by Norm Schragerkeeps the danger and sadness at bay, instead giving us two fairly developed kid characters
New York Post - 8/10 by V.A. MusettoOne way to judge a filmmaker is by the way he or she directs children. Take Tze Chun and his impressive first feature, Children of Invention.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Wesley MorrisThis is not “Death of a Salesman’’ or “Save the Tiger’’ (in the case of the latter, thank God). But how refreshing to see a movie about a mother’s struggles that doesn’t culminate in her lying on her back to make ends meet.
Globe and Mail - 8/10 by Rick GroenAn independent film that's all about forced independence.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Ella TaylorThe young director Tze Chun is not a flashy filmmaker, but he understands the vulnerability of immigrant workers in the sleazy sub-rosa economies of a floundering 21st-century America.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Manohla DargisA modestly scaled, quietly effective independent movie about a struggling single mother and her two children.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Gary GoldsteinChen and Chiu's genuine, rarely cloying performances along with Cheung's urgent sincerity add immeasurably to this timely film's many modest pleasures.
Variety - 7/10 by John AndersonUrgent, artful and even austerely poetic.
Chicago Reader - 5/10 by J. R. JonesShows enormous love and respect for those clutching at the short end of the American Dream.
Times-Picayune - 5/10 by Mike ScottIt's a promising start for director Tze Chun, but despite the film's charms, the story doesn't get interesting enough early enough.
