- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Even without its bleak and affecting story, Beijing Bicycle would work beautifully as a travelogue alone"
-
"With this masterful, flawless film, Xiaoshuai emerges in the front ranks of China's now numerous, world-renowned filmmakers."
-
"Beautifully filmed and very atmospheric in terms of evoking the sights and sounds of modern-day Beijing, this Chinese movie suffers a flat tire about halfway through."
-
"At once somber and mysterious, comical and sad. It shows just how lonely a crowded city can be."
-
"The movie is filled with sweetly funny moments, but its exposure of class, income and cultural differences makes it an uneasy charmer right up to its violent denouement."
-
"Wang mistakes affectless storytelling and character conception for rigor, and as a result huge portions of Beijing Bicycle are dull and repetitive."
-
"Wang's young actors are impressively natural, and his documentary-style camerawork captures the rhythms and cacophony of the big city, all its crazy-quilt comings and goings."
-
"Hard, gleaming images and an oblique storytelling style come to Wang the way the bike comes to Jian -- secondhand."
