Dragon Seed Ratings & Reviews
Cine-Mundial
Elena de la Torre
A first class show. [Full review in Spanish]

Steve Crum
Quite moving, strong drama featuring Kate Hepburn.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
One of MGM's worst melodramas of the 40s and a low point in the career of Hepburn, here miscast as a young and alert Chinese woman. Propaganda picture was made to please the government (and its Chinese allies) but by today's standards it's racist.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
That Caucasian actors are cast in the primary Oriental roles greatly detracts from the film's authenticity.
