—Steve Kopian, Unseen Films
'a great, dark comedy and a refreshing cinematic surprise that laughs at the real-life challenges faced by modern-day rural Chinese trying to cope with the encroachment of big city values...there's hope for independent cinema in China after all.'
—Jonathan Landreth, China Film Insider
'A colourful Fargo-esque comedy full of twists, noodles and marital bliss....made me giggle and guffaw throughout.'
—Anthony Gates, EasternKicks.com
