Cast

Reception

Maggie Lee of Variety called the film a "gorgeously shot meditation on the Yangtze River [that] all but drowns in pretentious symbolism and philosophical musings."[6] Deborah Young of The Hollywood Reporter said of the film: "Beautiful romanticism in search of a narrative shore."[2] Lee Marshall of Screen Daily called the film "a meandering, sluggish tale that offers moments of great beauty but ultimately feels like a ragbag, take-your-pick bundle of poetic and spiritual suggestions inspired by China’s great Yangtze River."[1]
