04/29/2020 The Nightingale is beautiful to watch and a rare film that shows the contrast between both modern and old worlds of China. Unfortunately, the story leaves much to be desired. It suffers from portraying itself as a feel-good film without inspiring the right emotions.

See more 06/03/2016 Lovely and well structured. See more 04/08/2016 A wonderfully colorful film with some heartwarming moments. This was certainly a fun adventure that uplifted my spirit. The shot-structure was well organized, and the cinematography was at times inspiring with the grandiose setting of the bamboo forest, however it's the relationship and the characters that shine in this film the strongest. See more 02/15/2016 A lovely, well acted story, with squeaky-clean location scouting fit for a travelogue. No doubt the portrayal of rural China is romanticised, but the film never really lapses into sentimentality, and is an all round pleasure to watch. See more 06/30/2015 A tender childlike film about a good hearted but selfish young Chinese girl who spends her school holidays with her grandfather who is traveling back to his childhood village. The strength of the film lies in its beauty of landscape & simplicity of story. Both Grandfather & Daughter are wonderful in their roles and are a wonderful contrast of New & Old China. Although it moves slowly the characters and land are fascinating. It's a poetic film that is a lovely watch a real treat. See more Read all reviews
