Zhou Yu's Train Ratings & Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Li fails to stoke much heat in Sun Zhou's pretentious and symbolic love triangle.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
It just may be a movie that has difficulty transcending national borders.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Zhou Yu's Train has its strengths, but it's clearly no bullet train.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
This is one of those languid numbers where slow motion -- and there's lots of it -- is meant to signify poetry, and a line like 'I know my lake is artificial, but it's full of water' is supposed to seem lyrical.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The effort required at the end of Zhou Yu's Train to sort out exactly what just went down isn't worth the payoff.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
A terrific film.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
We're too busy trying to figure out who's who and what's what, when we should be ruminating on the multiple implications of an intimate story of love's labors lost.
Dallas Morning News
Charles Ealy
A dreamy ride worth taking.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A pointlessly convoluted version of a love story that would really be very simple, if anyone in the movie possessed common sense.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
I cannot argue with critics who found the film pretentious and inflated, but I somehow enjoyed it for its deification of the female on her endless journey to eventual oblivion.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
The back-and-forth approach can be confusing, but it doesn't obscure the picture's chief ideas.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Watching Sun Zhou's romantic drama Zhou Yu's Train is like reading a poem -- not a great poem, or an entirely clear one, but one that occasionally blooms into beauty, with images that can take the reader's breath away.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Breathtakingly filmed.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
A ticket to this movie is a season's pass on that train -- and you must complete every ride.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
Built out of bits and pieces of successful Chinese films of the recent past, this syrupy romance comes to seem less a movie than a memory of movies.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Emerges gradually as a lyrical contemplation of the often ambiguous yet persistent nature of love through an intricate structure that fragments the narrative as it moves back and forth through time.
Newsday
John Anderson
Deeply felt but overly hyperbolic romance.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
It's classy, delicate whimsy, a testament to the way romantic love, however unsatisfied, continues to drive itself.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
By the end of the drowsy journey, the characters are indistinguishable from the scenery.
The Hollywood Reporter
Richard James Havis
Sun spends so much time on the mood and atmosphere that he forgets about the story.
