Art College 1994 Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Ryan Coleman
The precise contrast of stasis and flux, of the sublime and the quotidian, of simple personal dreams swallowed up by massive national ambitions, characterizes Liu Jian's latest.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
Like its characters, "Art College 1994" gives the impression of having just too much time on its hands.
Film Inquiry
Soham Gadre
Art College 1994 resists nostalgia by making clear that college is a time of aching intellectual embarrassment.
The Hollywood Reporter
Leslie Felperin
Endearing, if you can take the dorm-room philosophizing.
World Socialist Web Site
David Walsh
Liu is an intelligent and thoughtful artist, and, as the portrait of a group of artists as young people, his film is charming and amiable, occasionally moving and unsettling. The central problem ... lies in its essential intellectual amorphousness.
The Chinese Cinema
Sean Gilman
If Art College 1994 proves anything, it's that mid-90s students were slackers the world over. Or at least the ones worth hanging out with were.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
Another example of how [the animation] medium can be used to tell a (presumably) personal story, not unlike Linklater's animated films.
The Take-Up
Andrew Wyatt
Writer-director's Liu Jian's animated slice-of-student-life charmer absolutely nails the vibe of being a twenty-something wannabe artist with a head full of dreams and an empty bank account.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
"Art College 1994" is unassumingly sweet because it's about young people and their eternal quest for freedom and self-expression, mostly inside their own navels.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
All their concerns are familiar and irresolvable, especially for college students. Still, on balance, hanging out for two hours with these familiar young adults is a pleasant experience.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Occasionally cerebral and lyrical, but often meandering, dry, overlong and lethargic with underwritten, forgettable characters and not enough onscreen to captivate the audience.
In Review Online
Travis DeShong
Art College 1994 doesn't seem very interested in making any sort of defining point at all, but in rather encapsulating a specific milieu with a spellbinding attention to detail.
