Long`s day journey into night's reviews
Media reviews
Los Angeles Times
"A sense of disorientation is a wholly appropriate response to a movie in which the past is both irretrievable and unshakable. But even at its most openly baffling, 'Long Day?s Journey Into Night' never loses its seductive pull".
Indiewire
The unexpected love child of Wong Kar-wai and Andrei Tarkovsky, ?Long Day?s Journey Into Night? transforms from a lush, slow-burn pastiche to an audacious filmmaking gamble while maintaining the pictorial sophistication of its earlier section. It?s both languorous and eye-popping at once
The Playlist
"While 'Long Day?s journey into night' plot seems an afterthought, the experience is all that matters: the audience gathers the atmosphere and enter a world unlike any seen before. Make no mistake about it, 'Long Day?s Journey Into Night' is a flat-out masterpiece".
The Hollywood Reporter
Bi?s film is ultimately akin to the early image we see of Wildcat?s body being wheeled on a mine cart and pushed gently into the abyss, taking us on a slow and steady rollercoaster ride through memory, melancholy and movie magic
Caimán Cuadernos de Cine
This critic can't avoid the feeling that Bi Gan, in some moments, seeks for the effect and not for the coherence, he falls in some aesthetical exhibitionism who hampers even the peaks of his work.
Variety
Plunging viewers into an extended dream sequence in the name of abstract motifs such as memory, time, and space, the film is a lush plotless mood-piece swimming in artsy references and ostentatious technical exercises, with a star (Tang Wei, ?Lust, Caution?) as decoration.
