Tuya's Marriage Ratings & Reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
Yu is an experienced and most talented actress. But the real surprise here is how well the non-pros -- Bater, a Mongolian herdsman, and Sen'ge, an equestrian -- perform.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
Beneath its sparse exterior lies an achingly romantic tale of longing, devotion, and the lengths that people are willing to go to for love.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Annie Wagner
The arid landscape, seen with a patriotic affection, is a stirring sight. More wonderful, though, is the story: unusual, understated, and sincere.
Boston Globe
Dennis Fisher
The weight of the performances from Yu Nan and Bater is enough to make for a satisfying, if uneven, film.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
An authentic Mongolian romantic comedy, perhaps the first.
Apollo Guide
Dan Jardine
Nan Yu's work as the titular character and Sen'ge's performance as her nemesis/potential partner carry the film through some of the narrative rough patches
Film-Forward.com
Nora Lee Mandel
Inspired to capture the ebbing traditions of his mother's Mongolian heritage, director pays touching tribute to a strong woman who finally has no choice but to cry.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
This 2006 drama is refreshing not only for its gentle comic touches but for director Wang Quanan's refusal to sentimentalize China's vanishing nomadic culture: life is harsh and no one's a saint, including his outspoken heroine.
Variety
Derek Elley
Made with a scrupulous attention to the slow-moving realities of grasslands life but lacking in dramatic heft.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
[Yu Nan] owns the role of Tuya, delivering a wide-ranging performance that might be called 'star-making' if she didn't already suggest the confidence of an established star.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
A strong addition to the burgeoning canon of China's so-called Sixth Generation filmmakers.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Tuya's Marriage is thoroughly gratifying in its consistent inventiveness and has a grasp of human nature so universal that there's no feeling of the exotic about the film and its people.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
It is a fine and plaintive experience, more modern-day folklore than ethnographic study, and a wonderfully assured piece of cinema.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Tuya's Marriage has enough material to supply an entire year of a soap opera -- in Inner Mongolia, that is.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
A compact near-masterpiece that combines a slow-motion romantic comedy with a docudrama-style portrait of a remote, nomadic culture as it is gradually eroded by the tides of the 21st century.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Tuya's Marriage finds an austere beauty in a landscape of scrub and grassland ringed by forbidding slate-blue mountains.
Village Voice
Ed Gonzalez
[Director Wang Quan] still maintains an emotional remove from his subject, tracing the encroaching will of capitalism-as in the evolution from horses to motorcycles to cars-more clinically than poetically.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Tuya's Marriage can feel a tad overwritten, but in terms of its cultural and emotional portraits, the film's neo-realist authenticity is nonetheless striking.
