Movie Reviews

Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonBinoche is simply miraculous in this role.
Washington Post - 10/10 by John AndersonBecause it's one of the most beautiful films ever. Because it's a work of art on the order of a poem by Yeats or a painting by Rothko.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyPaying tribute to the 1956 French classic, and containing lyrical moments and graceful stylistic touches of its own, Hou's first French-language feature is better than his first foreign foray, the Tokyo-set Cafe Lumiere.
4Columns - 9/10 by Melissa AndersonEach character an outsider in some way-Simon owing to his age, Song to her nationality-the child and his minder form a tender dyad, one marked by reciprocated respect and curiosity.
Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Nick SchagerHou Hsiao-hsien's trademark long takes call attention to the passage of time, and as such they're intimately attuned to his ongoing thematic interest in the bonds between the past, present, and future.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 9/10 by Tim BraytonFor those on the right wavelength...this is magisterial cinema.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Ty BurrThe subject is the privileged state of childhood itself - how we're all lucky to have had it and how it so easily floats away from our grasp.
FILMINK (Australia) - 9/10 by Mark DemetriusIt's all humdrum and low key without any redeeming compositional elegance or symmetry.
Newark Star-Ledger - 8/10 by Stephen WhittyThis Red Balloon is gorgeously photographed, and finely acted; like the first film, it gives its plaything a real, solid dimensionality. But despite its title, it never really soars.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Michael PhillipsA gem made by a filmmaker who loves life, and knows how to capture its ebb and flow and sweet complication.
