Leave your thoughts about Lilting.
| CultureCatchBrandon JudellKhaou's debut feature is exhilarating in its craft, its performances, and its tale of the eventual fusing of two disparate hearts. |
| Movie MezzanineTomris LafflyLilting is as personal a film as can be, exploring love, loss, and the sometimes unspoken language of the delicacies of the human condition. |
| IndiewireMary SollosiWhishaw's sensitive performance gives Lilting its emotional intensity. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniHong, who makes his feature debut here, has a masterful command of rhythm, beautifully weaving each strand of the narrative around that momentous opening scene. |
| ReviewExpress.comJean LowerisonA quiet chamber piece that reflects on family, communication, grief and misunderstanding. |
| San Francisco ChronicleThomas LeeLilting works because of the superb performances from its two leads, especially Whishaw, whose tortured gloom offers a striking contrast to the cool, unflappable “Q” role he presented in “Skyfall.” |
| Little White LiesSophie IvanA thoughtful film whose lilting tones occasionally border on the listless. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabThe writer/director Hong Khaou's chamber piece boasts some wonderful performances from veteran Chinese actress Pei Pei Cheng, Ben Whishaw and the still dapper Peter Bowles. |
| We Got This CoveredDominic MillThe subject matter is powerful, and the performances are wonderful - in a world of big and showy dramatism, Lilting gets its point across without feeling the need to shout about it. |
| New York PostSara StewartKhaou’s film features masterful performances from Whishaw and Cheng, whose dialogue is somehow intensified, rather than diluted, through the third-party voice of the translator. But some emotions, the film suggests, are impossible to adequately articulate in any language. |
