Leave your thoughts about Farewell My Concubine.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertFarewell My Concubine is a demonstration of how a great epic can function. I was generally familiar with the important moments in modern Chinese history, but this film helped me to feel and imagine what it was like to live in the country during those times. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonAppropriately operatic, Chen's visually spectacular epic is sumptuous in every respect. Intelligent, enthralling, rhapsodic. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewAppropriately operatic, Chen's visually spectacular epic is sumptuous in every respect. Intelligent, enthralling, rhapsodic. |
| MovielineStephen FarberLuxurious, memorable scenes bring the past alive, though the editing is sometimes choppy and confusing. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksOverblown and wildly flamboyant, Farewell My Concubine boasts some startling moments, a few grand set-pieces and excellent performances all around. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyA vastly entertaining movie. It's also one of such recognizably serious concerns that you can sink into it with pleasure and count it a cultural achievement. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliNo film can ever hope to convey the complex mosaic of cultural upheaval caused by everything that happened between 1924 and 1977, but Farewell My Concubine does an excellent job presenting samples of the flavor while telling a story that is both epic and intimate. |
| Chicago ReaderFred CamperThis film's extraordinary unity of style, theme, and plot is what sets it apart from the superficial historical epic. Behind all the color, movement, and elaborate decor of this "commercial" film lies an exceptionally taut structure. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranOld-fashioned in form but modern in psychological dynamic, it’s a film that you can lose yourself in, that washes over you like a warm and enveloping mist. |
| Hartford CourantMalcolm JohnsonThis epic work by Chen Kaige becomes the stuff of instant: the creation of a prophet not honored in his own country, and cruelly cut for commercial puposes here in the Land of the Free. |
