Stella and Harry are affluent, cosmopolitan teenagers who are part of the enormous wave of "parachute students" from Mainland China enrolling in U.S. private schools. Shot over three years in China and the U.S., MAINELAND tells a multi-layered coming-of-age tale, following this buoyant, fun-loving girl and introspective boy as they settle into a boarding school in blue-collar small-town rural Maine. They come seeking a Western-style education, escape from the dreaded Chinese college entrance exam, and the promise of a Hollywood-style U.S. high school experience. But as their fuzzy visions of the American dream slowly gain more clarity, their relationship to home takes on a surprising new aspect.

| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeThis is not a film replete with big revelations, but it effectively draws out the details that unsettle and give the migratory experience its power. |
| Film ThreatBobby LePireIt runs too long, and music often drowns out valuable information. But Stella and Harry are wonderfully intriguing leads and watching them grow more confident, learn what they want and then achieve such is heartfelt enough that it is worth your time. |
| Easy Reader (California)Neely SwansonMaineland is, however, very much worth seeing because it does give us a portrait of two teens who share more with their American counterparts than they or we imagine. |
| RogerEbert.comGodfrey CheshireA documentary that offers some fascinating if glancing insights into a rich and timely subject but ends up being more frustrating than enlightening. |
