Atom User Reviews
Metacritic
Has almost zero plot but molto mood. It will appeal to the most faithful of the director's camp-followers and no one else.
Derek Elley
Variety
Despite all this desolation and depression, however, Still Life is an extremely beautiful movie.
David Denby
The New Yorker
As usual, Jia's people tend toward the opaque--one of the movie's most enthusiastic conversations is conducted with ringtones. But his compositions have their own eloquence. Everything's despoiled and yet--as rendered in cinematographer Yu Lik-wai's rich, impossibly crisp HD images--everything is beautiful.
