The Golden Era Ratings & Reviews
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Emily Condon
Sadly, the tale doesn't always keep pace with the ethereal aesthetic.

Jessica Kiang
Sadly "The Golden Era" is opportunity squandered . It may play very well in China, but what does it serve the rest of us to experience this fascinating woman's life rendered as little more than slow-moving historical soap opera?

Nicholas Bell
With intricate deliberation, Hong's life is examined, displayed, and considered in The Golden Life, but she somehow never really registers as an active part of it.
Boston Herald
James Verniere
A Chinese Dr. Zhivago. Eye opening biopic fills a gap in 20th century literary history.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Hui captures the romantic aura of Xiao's freethinking audacity and artistic vocation in poised, painterly shots that seem less like sites of action than like elusive memories.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
Though it hasn't the sweep to be greater than the sum of its parts, the movie offers an absorbing mix of melodrama and historical detail.
New York Times
Daniel M. Gold
Overlong and too reverent, conveying little sense of Xiao Hong the person and even less of her talent.

Mark Jenkins
Beautifully made and deftly performed ...
