Leave your thoughts about Crosscurrent.
| The PlaylistChris EvangelistaAs a visual love-letter to the Yangtze River, Crosscurrent takes your breath away. As a narrative film, it’s all washed up. |
| The Film StageZhuo-Ning SuCrosscurrent represents quite a remarkable blunder considering how much effort and noble aspirations go to waste because its maker forgot to tell a good story first. |
| CineVuePatrick GambleRarely has China's explosive economic growth been captured with such grace and with such a heavy heart. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisCramming fantasy and mysticism, faith and history into a single riverboat journey, this dirgelike meditation on China’s painful economic rebirth dispenses with narrative in favor of semiotics. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungIt’s all about metaphor and mood, while the storytelling is so lightweight it might not exist. Without it, this drunken boat sailing on poetry can't hold interest for its entire two hour running time. |
| Screen InternationalLee MarshallA meandering, sluggish tale that offers moments of great beauty but ultimately feels like a ragbag, take-your-pick bundle of poetic and spiritual suggestions inspired by China’s great Yangtze River. |
| VarietyMaggie LeePlotless, pretentiously literary and lousy at explaining geography, the movie fails to put Yang’s vision into a fictional framework that’s even remotely engaging. |
| User ReviewFacebook UThis gorgeously filmed journey in search of the head waters of China's Yangtze River presents a beautiful metaphor of the nation's political, economic, cultural and spiritual history, reflected through the encounters of a young boat captain with a series of female apparitions. In doing so, the picture attempts to fill in some of the knowledge gaps of Chinese viewers (especially younger ones) who may not be aware of much of their country's heritage prior to the Communist revolution. Unfortunately, the film's rather poetically cryptic narrative -- as beautiful as it might be -- misses the mark in fulfilling its intent of promoting historical and cultural understanding, often leaving viewers more baffled than enlightened. Still, it's nice to look at, so enjoy the cinematography and the picture's emotive soundtrack, which are arguably worth the price of admission alone. |
| User ReviewJLuis_001A very beautiful film, but one that relies entirely on being atmospheric rather than narrative driven. It is symbolic, reflective and sentimental, evoking the cost of progress and change, so an aura of melancholy permeates throughout its duration. It's a bit stuffy, and can be a bit exasperating because of its slowness, but I still liked it. |
