A confused jumble of stuff. The worst part is that all this is done at the expense of an interesting plot or strong characters. Not entirely without merit, but too messy to recommend.

It was just way too long and the park actually is in Shenzhen and not in Beijing!

While it's technically interesting and quite gorgeous, asking your audience to stay with one dimensional characters for two-and-a-half hours is a risk that doesn't pay off in this film.

Incredible photography. A slow but fascinating portrait of a rapidly modernizing China that evokes the mood of bewilderment I imagine many people feel toward it. Full of subtle and not-so-subtle statements about the value of money, technology and alienation, uneven modernization, and the shallowness of modern life.

I think I get it. It has great moments and pathos, but is somewhere between Indie films and Art films, with all the turn-offs of both.
