1. 11/25/11 Outstanding "...the fizziest, most endearing film in ages.... the movie sets itself impossible goals and keeps meeting and exceeding them."
2. 09/08/11 Very Good "Ah Tao is portrayed with a poignant delicacy by Deanie Yip, a Canto-pop singer and pert supporting actress in the 1980s, who has matured to pay superb justice to a gracious lady of quiet heroism."
3. 09/08/11 Excellent "...astonishing.... sure-footed, emotionally and cinematically... the film is generous to all its besotted creatures, and to the audience as well. Viewers who fall in love with 'Café de Flore' will find that it loves them back."
4. 07/15/11 Very Good "Director Oliver Schmitz and his splendid cast assure that this tale about a strong little girl fighting to keep her family alive and together has both high art and a big heart, audience appeal and gut impact."
5. 08/02/10 Very Good "...familiar massing of clips, charts and talking heads. It does not aspire to high art or headline-making exposé. But it does efficiently and vigorously enumerate the dangers of nuclear proliferation... a stirring and scary reminder of the nuclear sword hanging over our collective neck."
