Darcy Paquet of Screen Daily wrote, "By juxtaposing the stories of the older man, still haunted by decisions he made in his youth, and the son who appears on the verge of making a similar mistake, Woo is able to give added resonance to both stories."[1] Denis Harvey of Variety wrote, "Those looking for emotional fireworks and clear-cut narrative payoffs may be underwhelmed, but pic’s subtle charm and frequently ravishing visuals will cast a spell for those who are patient."[2]
Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film "should divide audiences between those appreciative of its quiet rural rhythms and subtle charms and those gazing at watches."[3]
