Movie Reviews

New York Times - 9/10 by Stephen HoldenDark Matter, with its view of cutthroat politics and competing egos inside a university, is also laudable in its refusal to soft-pedal the viciously petty side of the academic fishbowl.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyThere are so few films about higher education (and fewer intelligent ones) that it's a shame that what begins as a poignant probe of academic politics, freedom and expression and cultural assimilation gradually turns into a turgid, senseless melodrama.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Maureen M. HartThe film does a fine job of displaying the contrasts between these tense, formalized Chinese students and the faux populist American academics.
TV Guide - 8/10 by Ken FoxWritten by Billy Shebar and directed by opera director Chen Shi-Zheng, this visually sophisticated film has been criticized for turning a deeply disturbed individual into a "hero," but nothing could be further from the truth.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Joe NeumaierDirector Chen Shi-Zheng's film has a graceful energy, and three strong performances help make this serene drama - and its shocking conclusion - quietly moving.
Boxoffice Magazine - 7/10 by Sara Maria VizcarrondoWhile imperfect, the high caliber of acting as well as these lucid moments in the earlier part of the film are strong and memorable highlights with which to leave the theatre.
Chicago Reader - 7/10 by J.R. JonesFirst-time director Chen Shi-Zheng shows great sensitivity to the pressure and isolation felt by Chinese brains at American universities, and the relationship between Liu and Quinn provides a rare look at the intellectual serfdom of graduate study.
Film-Forward.com - 7/10 by Nora Lee MandelPoignantly and sympathetically gets inside the confused head of an Asian immigrant rarely seen in film, a grad student flummoxed by American culture and academic politics.
indieWire - 7/10 by Leo GoldsmithBegins with a shot of Meryl Streep practicing tai chi, and therein lies a precise encapsulation of the film's attitude toward the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures
Entertainment Weekly - 6/10 by Gregory KirschlingLiu Ye is too inexpressive for his role's demands, and the movie doesn't build to his downfall: It just zaps itself there.
