Yet another example of how Zhang Yimou is one of the best filmmakers working right now.

Battleship Pretension
Heartbreaking in its depiction of ordinary lives affected by political upheaval, this ode to the fundamental values that survive even under such dire circumstances has an epic gravity that recalls another great historical romance, Doctor Zhivago.

Variety
A surfeit of melodramatic peaks weakens the Chinese director's latest film and makes it tedious to watch.

Coming Home sinks into a conventional tragic romance rut that not even engaging performances by Gong and Chen can save.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Daoming just manages to keep the material from turning into a sentimental variation on "Waiting for Godot."

Rating: 3/4 --
Intriguingly, the director has successfully woven a Kafkaesque metaphor into a classically Chinese melodrama.
