Entertainment Reviews:
Jia here once again marvels at the pace of his country’s great leap forward into the realm of modern global superpowers, while pausing to consider the collateral impact on individuals, families and the fabric of society.
Variety
[S]o confident is this director’s touch that MOUNTAINS MAY DEPART holds you with the humanity of its telling rather than the gloom of its conclusions.
Boston Globe
The moment the extraordinary actress Zhao Tao first appears in MOUNTAINS MAY DEPART, line dancing to the Pet Shop Boys' cover of 'Go West,' she and writer-director Jia Zhangke set an exquisitely nuanced mood, at once buoyant and elegiac.
Los Angeles Times
3.5 stars out of 4 -- Jia has always evinced a confidence and a seriousness of purpose that are on fine display in MOUNTAINS MAY DEPART another intimate journey through history that’s as stirring and beautifully nuanced as anything he’s made.
RogerEbert.com
MOUNTAINS MAY DEPART spans from the recent yet distant past to the near future, painting a quarter-century of changing fortunes and buried longing in strokes both graceful and eccentric, with shades of Charles Dickens and MILDRED PIERCE. -- Grade: B+

Product Description:
This intimate epic from writer/director Jia Zhang Ke explores the rapid pace of China's modernization through the lens of one family's choices over the course of 26 years. In the city of Fenyang in 1999, a woman named Shen Tao (Zhao Tao) is torn between a coal miner and a nouveau-riche businessman. The movie then jumps ahead to 2014, when a divorced Tao is estranged from both her wealthy husband and her spoiled-brat son Dollar. The story then concludes in 2025 Australia, where Dollar (Dong Zijian) is a college student struggling to reconnect with his past and the culture of his birth.
