Leave your thoughts about Pavilion of Women.
| Village VoiceMichael AtkinsonYim's film is kneecapped by its soundtrack twice over. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardIntroduces American audiences to Luo Yan, a charismatic Chinese-born actress now living in Los Angeles. She single-handedly nurtured this project to fruition, serving as producer, co-writer and star. |
| Film Journal InternationalShirley SealyThe musical score is just awful, punctuating dramatic moments with great swellings of strings, loud shatterings of cymbals. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaThe only importance anyone is likely to associate with this overblown melodrama is self-importance. |
| New Times (L.A.)Andy KleinHas an awkwardness that defeats whatever emotional involvement it tries to achieve. |
| Boxoffice MagazineWade MajorBuck would have been proud of Pavilion of Women. |
| Washington PostMark JenkinsA film that was made in China but has the soul of a '50s Hollywood melodrama. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThe locations and production design are breathtakingly beautiful. But though cast largely with Chinese actors, it was shot in English, which no doubt made business sense but almost certainly accounts for many truly awful performances. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasCan never rise above the melodrama of a past era, despite a splendid, impassioned portrayal by Willem Dafoe and an affecting one by Luo Yan. |
| The New York TimesDana StevensIt might have been a satisfying if not terribly original piece of historical melodrama, but its clumsiness turns it, against its best intentions, into half-baked operatic kitsch. |
