Critic Reviews

One way to judge a filmmaker is by the way he or she directs children. Take Tze Chun and his impressive first feature, Children of Invention.Full Review

V.A. Musetto
New York Post

This is not "Death of a Salesman'' or "Save the Tiger'' (in the case of the latter, thank God). But how refreshing to see a movie about a mother's struggles that doesn't culminate in her lying on her back to make ends meet.Full Review

Wesley Morris
Boston Globe

The young director Tze Chun is not a flashy filmmaker, but he understands the vulnerability of immigrant workers in the sleazy sub-rosa economies of a floundering 21st-century America.Full Review

Village Voice

Heartfelt but dramatically tepid tale.Full Review

Frank Lovece
The Hollywood Reporter

Urgent, artful and even austerely poetic.Full Review
