Eternal Spring Ratings & Reviews
MovieWeb
Jericho Tadeo
Eternal Spring succeeds as history made tangible, shareable, and, of utmost importance here, personal.
Book & Film Globe
William Schwartz
There's no way to sugarcoat this. Eternal Spring is a Falun Gong propaganda film.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
Within the narrower confines of one talented artist's reckoning with his birth nation's painful recent history, however, it remains a stirring piece of work...
Film Threat
Alan Ng
Eternal Spring is a beautiful film about freedom. It's also a film that is currently flying under the radar, rife with controversy but is well worth seeking out for a serious evening of cinema.
Hye's Musings
Heidy Morales
Aside from the great animation and music, the film brings to light an unprecedented story of defiance, including eyewitness accounts of persecution, to highlight the determination of those involved to speak up for political and religious freedoms.
Spectrum Culture
Padaí Ó Maolchalann
A worthy story told with grace and compassion but lacking in conviction and artistic acuity, this is a predictable, resolutely middlebrow documentary about a subject that deserves much more.
Should I See It
Michael Ward
As stylish, impressive, and cinematically compelling as (the) film happens to be, reality catches up to the artistry and leaves a sour, unrelenting bitter taste in the mouth.
In Review Online
Sam C. Mac
For a film with such a forceful and felt political message, Eternal Spring could have gone into much more depth about the politics surrounding the persecution of Falun Gong.
Deep Focus Review
Brian Eggert
The film may be compelling and eye-poppingly inspired for what's onscreen, but Eternal Spring is also quite troublesome for what it never mentions about the Falun Gong.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
I's a chronicle of what it means to be on the receiving end of real oppression, wrapped up in a crime procedural... a film that demands to be seen.
IndieWire
Jude Dry
The story of Eternal Spring deserves to be told -- but Loftus' film falls victim to the kind of insidious propaganda members of Falun Gong once tried to fight.
Los Angeles Times
Carlos Aguilar
Distinctively incisive on an emotional level, the film applauds the bravery of its participants to relive a painful shared trauma and create a permanent testament of what they endured.
Epoch Times
Michael Clark
Usually, it takes rear-view mirror reflection and sometimes years of assessment to label any work of art a "masterpiece," yet "Eternal Spring" is exactly and immediately that. It's easily the most daring, moving, and creative movie of its kind ever made.
AwardsWatch
Abe Friedtanzer
The use of animation in this context is startlingly effective, capable of recreating scenes of brutality that line the screen with blood and bruises that feel just as real as if they contained actors or the real subjects.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
While the animation gives the documentary some distinction, the narrative can't entirely shake the sense that this momentous but brief episode is scaled more for a short than a feature.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Moving and gripping with stunning, vivid animation, but too narrow in scope while lacking fairness and balance.
Big Apple Reviews
Harvey S. Karten
Live action complements stunning 3D animation centering on how the Chinese Communist government has arrested, imprisoned and tortured vocal members of the Falun Gong society. The documentary ignores a dark side of the group.
HollywoodInToto.com
Christian Toto
Stunning animation, sober testimonials yield must-see documentary.
Orca Sound
Carey-Ann Pawsey
Here is a Canadian film by director Jason Loftus (Ask No Questions) which argues for religious and political freedom for all.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
Jason Loftus and Daxiong's work is profoundly moving. Social realities in China are dispiriting but help us remember the humanity that links us all. The day after Eternal Spring was announced as Canada's Oscar contender, China banned Daxiong's books.
