Rosemead Ratings & Reviews
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
This is the very definition of a tough but important watch, and it's handled with sensitivity by all involved, especially the Fremont-born Shou and Liu.
Mama's Geeky
Tessa Smith
Rosemead boasts two incredible lead performances and tells a story that is difficult to watch, but nevertheless serves as an important warning.
DallasFilmNow.com
Peter Martin
It's like watching a slow-motion automobile accident, and being helpless to stop it. ... Reminds that appearances can be deceiving. No matter how successful someone may appear to be, they may be drowning emotionally, and unable to call for help.
Punch Drunk Critics
Travis Hopson
Delivering the performance of her career, Liu is quietly devastating as a widow, mother, and immigrant who has already lost so much, and is on the verge of losing everything.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Rosemead (a drama based on a true story) takes an unflinching look at the unraveling of a family where a widow feels increasingly helpless about her teenage son's schizophrenia. The movie also examines cultural stigmas about mental illness.
Substream Magazine
Murjani Rawls
The film doesn't try to paint a rosy view or look at the bright side because sometimes there just isn't one. It allows us to sit uncomfortably and think about how desperation and love can drive us to do the unthinkable.
JoBlo's Movie Network
Alex Maidy
Rosemead may not end up at the Academy Awards, but it definitely deserves a spot amongst the most impactful and shocking films of the year.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Beandrea July
One of those movies where I saw it one night and woke up the next morning thinking about it. I think that's a sign of success.
Movie Brief
Michael Nordine
It's unbelievable yet somehow true that this is Liu's first leading role in a drama; let's hope it's not the last.
FlixChatter Film Blog
Ruth Maramis
Glad Liu's finally offered her first dramatic lead role as she's proven her mettle. Directed with sensitivity by Eric Lin, the ending floored me and stayed long after the credits rolled.
Age of the Geek
Jana Monji
Director Eric Lin makes a strong feature film directorial debut and Lucy Liu takes center stage as the terminally ill mother making final decisions for her 17-year-old son. This is a sensitive portrayal of an AAPI community problem.
RogerEbert.com
Peyton Robinson
The film does not offer excuses for violence, and neither should we; instead, it prompts reflection on where compassion and control are needed and where the pursuit of them falters.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
Liu, in a challenging, unvarnished part far from her more polished characters in Charlie's Angels or TV's Elementary, does some of her best work, making a large impact on a smaller canvas.
Screen Rant
Todd Gilchrist
Lucy Liu's devastating performance as a fiercely dedicated yet desperate parent helps elevate what's an undeniable tragedy into a story about a mother's ultimate - if misguided - expression of love.
Collider
Luna Guthrie
Rosemead is an absorbing and thoroughly heartbreaking movie that deals blow after grievous blow to its audience, and Lucy Liu is just astounding.
New York Times
Lisa Kennedy
In its march toward resolution, "Rosemead" never falters in its compassion, and asks the same of us.
TheWrap
William Bibbiani
However depressing 'Rosemead' is, and it's depressing in all italics, it's just not deep enough to make running this gauntlet worthwhile.
The Travers Take
Peter Travers
Lucy Liu deglams with a vengeance to give the performance of her life in a shocking true story of a mother-son relationship that goes tragically off the rails.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Lin handles that inexorable slide toward tragedy with commendable sensitivity. It's a grim story, told in such a way that some good can come of it.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
Based on a true story, Rosemead compassionately captures the various layers that come with trying to find support. The film's intimate scope makes this a worthwhile portrayal of an under-discussed sliver of American life.
