Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
Great Aussie crime thriller droops at the end but pulls through thanks to Guy Pearce.
Film Journal International
David Noh
The "oh-so-innocent waif and big old baddie" odd-couple formula dates back to D.W. Griffith, but this muddled effort does nothing to merit its questionable revival.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
Innocence meets experience, unconvincingly, in the strained redemption drama "33 Postcards."
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
Were it not for the staccato bursts of violence, this Chinese-Australian co-production about how an adorable orphan brings love into the life of a hardened convict would feel like a film from Hayley Mills' heyday.
Oregonian
Jamie S. Rich
The film has a few good story turns up its sleeve, but prepare yourself for heavy melodrama in the third act.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
It's all in the name of heartstring tugging, and the film, directed by Pauline Chan ("Little White Lies"), does that pretty well.
Cinema Signals
Jules Brenner
Sweet to the point of getting a sugar rush. Underwritten and under-directed in style and realization, it has all the substance of a confection.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
There's no explaining the presence of Guy Pearce in Pauline Chan's sappy, atonal family drama. But it's easy enough to understand why he looks so uncomfortable throughout.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
A clunky hybrid-half feel-good weepie, half preposterous thriller-that functions primarily as an elaborate travel brochure ...
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
Touching story about how the spiritual practice of enthusiasm works wonders in the life of a man in prison.
Observer
Rex Reed
Just when you think it can't get any more sentimental or tack on any more plot detours, the film attempts a clumsy cultural dtente as the Chinese children's choir sings "Waltzing Matilda."
Village Voice
Inkoo Kang
The script's programmatic feel-goodery smooths out everything strange and noteworthy about Dean and Mei Mei's relationship into an unmemorable and unconvincing blandness.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
33 Postcards is merely the latest in a long line of films to throw in needless crime subplots as a way of shortcutting things emotionally.
WBAI Radio
Prairie Miller
Orphan Mei Mei discovers dubious desired dad Guy Pearce is not exactly what he seems. Nor is this movie, taking a surprising turn away from the conventional, as it embraces collective values over the usual quest and flight into Western individualism.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Pauline Chan's film is a jumbled mixture of redemptive uplift and genre hijinks.
