Leave your thoughts about The Grief of Others.
| Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijOffers many quiet, often character-driven rewards but struggles to become larger than the sum of its parts. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleHarder to miss, however, in every grainy 16mm shot and heartfelt performance is the movie's understated soul, as Wang guides us, sometimes awkwardly, usually touchingly, from isolation and secrets into understanding and connection. |
| AV ClubA.A. DowdIt's every bit as human-scaled as the filmmaker's other work-but also, in its noble restraint, a little less involving. |
| MUBIGlenn Heath Jr.A quiet bruiser about repressed anger, silence, and ultimately forgiveness. It depicts complex domestic crisis in a non-linear, almost magical way with aesthetic fractures that expand the possibilities of the frame and deepen over time. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzAn unusual and involving if sometimes demanding and difficult movie. |
| L.A. WeeklySam WeisbergWorking with deliberately limited resources, writer-director Patrick Wang revels in technical gaucherie that would hinder lesser filmmakers. |
| Film InquiryTynan YanagaThe Grief of Others is a film that externalizes these internal emotions and suggests, even implicitly, it can be absolutely cathartic to share in this process with others. |
