Yi Yi Ratings & Reviews
Brooklyn Magazine
Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
I felt like I had lived it, and not just because of its nearly three-hour runtime.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Yang takes the long view, transforming the ingredients of family melodrama into a serene, generous, comic vision of our tangled urban lives.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
A marvel of delicacy and humor.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
A humanistic masterwork.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
This intimate family portrait peels away layer after layer of unspoken truth and hidden life.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Fans of this kind of novel-like storytelling will find the movie a real treat.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Keenly observed.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
Chances are, you'll watch most of it with a smile on your face, and you'll miss these characters when it's over.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Only rarely is a film this observant and tender about the ups and downs of daily existence.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
An amazing experience: as if a TV soap opera, packed with the usual catastrophes, were done with unaccustomed depth and real storytelling genius.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
Opening with a wedding fracas and closing with a funeral, Yi Yi puts the trials of three generations delicately on view.
Seattle Times
Erik Lundegaard
Full of nice small moments that add up to a deeper whole.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
Looks at one middle-class family in transition -- and does so with such a kind and probing eye that we all see our lives reflected through Yang's lens.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
Irritating, indulgent and self-important.
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
In its low-key way, Yi Yi presents an intelligent, profound and at times heartrending slice of Taiwanese middle-class existence.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
A lucid, elegant, nuanced, humorous melodrama that orchestrates a soap opera season's worth of family crises with a virtuoso discretion.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
It's a delicate film but a strong one, graced with the ability to see life whole, the grief hidden in happiness as well as the humor inherent in sadness.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Everywhere in this beautifully understated drama, the blessedness of ordinary people, as individuals and bound in clans, is knowingly, movingly conveyed.
Variety
Derek Elley
A movie of formidable intelligence and observation, marbled with moments of magical abstraction.
