| MovielineMichelle OrangeBecause of the movie's episodic structure and lack of expository detail, the visuals bear the greatest narrative burden. |
| Village VoiceDan KoisFor long stretches of this tantalizing, romantic, aggravating film-until just before its extremely satisfying ending, in fact-I wished Lou had caught a little spring fever himself, cranked up the volume, and turned on the lights. |
| Boston PhoenixPeter KeoughArtful, dreary, and pointless -- it's time for Lou Ye to lighten up. |
| The Hollywood ReporterMaggie LeeArtistically uneven, emotionally strained but at times sullenly poetic depiction of a sexually confused love pentangle. |
