Leave your thoughts about Saving Face.
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarEffortlessly cosmopolitan and consistently funny. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasFar from seeming weighed down by a need to satisfy various interest groups, "Face" is light-footed, at times cheeky and always true to its sharply-drawn cast of characters. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesWu has abundant affection for her characters and a sharp eye for how they interact. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereThe sort of competent, intelligent and humane film that often signals the beginning of a major career. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellGoes beyond the obvious into something a lot more current and meaningful: the need to make your own love, even if society looks askance. |
| Denver PostLisa Kennedy[Saving Face] gets its heart pumping by putting its lovers smack in the middle of family and community. |

| Movie EyeFrank Ochieng...a conventional but ambitious and tender vehicle about cultural traditions of passion crossing forbidden paths. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittA mother and daughter face romantic complications at the same time in New York City's busy Chinese-American community. Nicely acted. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionEleanor Ringel CaterSaving Face's saving graces are its sense of humor and its strong cast. |
