Leave your thoughts about Unknown Pleasures.
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. Andersondespite the distinct lack of good times and belly laughs, Unknown Pleasures is a great film. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA slow-paced Chinese drama about the aimlessness and ennui of two nineteen- year- olds who live for the present moment and have no plans for the future. |
| Matinee MagazineChuck RudolphAs fascinating as some of the individual scenes and shots are, they never connect into a formative whole. |
| Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenProves to be just as vapid and directionless as its no-account subjects. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasThe film just sits there, staring back at us. |
| VarietyDavid RooneyAs lethargic as the characters it portrays, the film requires greater staying power than many audiences will possess. |
| culturevulture.netLeslie KatzDespite the fact that there's little dramatic arc, little dialogue and little joy in the lives of its characters, Unknown Pleasures is riveting. |
| All Movie GuideJosh RalskeCaptures the complex weave of life in contemporary China... |
| eFilmCritic.comBrian MckayHard to turn away from, but also damn hard to sit through ... there is a difference between inspiring a sense of alienation in one's audience, and merely alienating them |
| OregonianShawn LevyThe film drags and lingers and goes more or less nowhere, imitating its protagonists' lives so exactly that you want to give them both a good smack. |
