With this masterful, flawless film, Xiaoshuai emerges in the front ranks of China's now numerous, world-renowned filmmakers.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

At once somber and mysterious, comical and sad. It shows just how lonely a crowded city can be.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

Even without its bleak and affecting story, Beijing Bicycle would work beautifully as a travelogue alone.Full Review

Scott Tobias
The Onion (A.V. Club)

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.Full Review

Steven Rea
Philadelphia Inquirer

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.Full Review
