Critic Reviews

Dennis Harvey

A winning look at cross-cultural romance. Read full review

Dennis Lim

Relying on rote culture-clash pratfalls, Gilfillan belabors the symmetries. Read full review

Stephen Holden

For all its demureness, Restless captures some of the excitement of youthful romance in which the partners aren't just separate individuals but the products of divergent cultures. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

This intermittently charming look at East-meets-West culture shock in contemporary Beijing seriously overreaches its grasp. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Would that the film were as interesting as the setting. Read full review

Jonathan Foreman

Boasts exceptionally attractive locations, but its painfully amateurish plotting, dialogue and acting -- combined with slack pacing -- make this Beijing-set indie romance something of a trial. Read full review

Manohla Dargis

Writer and director Gilfillan has an estimable biography, having studied at the Beijing Film Academy and worked as an assistant to John Woo, but there's nothing in her prosaic feature debut that suggests this means a thing. Read full review
