It's hardly a threat to the antics of "Naked Gun" but it's a delicately wry take on the absurdities of bureaucratic life. It upends Zhang's resume wonderfully.

Rating: 5/5 --
One of Zhang Yimou's finest moments.
Nitrate Online
Rating: 4/5 --
Sparks of genius already apparent.
New Times
This simple, repetetive tale has a mesmerizing quality able to hook audiences from beginning to end.
Variety
The plot seems expressly designed to placate the bureaucrats who banned Zhang's two previous films in China, but the quasi-documentary approach (involving scores of non-professional actors, hidden cameras and radio mikes) is brilliantly finessed.

Time Out
...The movie's style and narrative seem inspired by postwar Italian neorealism....Watching the film, we find the humor for ourselves...
Chicago Sun-Times
"The Story of Qiu Ju" has its bawdy pleasures, but it's far too litigious to be especially entertaining, and is at its best in its documentary mode.
