Review For Aftershocks (Tangshan dadizhen)
Perfect hokum for those who don't mind having their heart strings strummed like a banjo.David Jenkins-Time Out
The film may be a blunt instrument, but it's rarely maudlin -- the exception being the performance of Mr. Feng's wife, Fan Xu, as the long-suffering mother -- and is, on occasion, quite moving.
Mike Hale-New York Times
[An] involving, well-acted saga of a family torn apart by a devastating earthquake...
Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times
Mimics the worst of Hollywood's excesses, pairing gratuitous shock with patriotism and a flood of tear-jerking moments calculated for awards bodies' consideration.
Simon Kinnear-Total Film
Aftershock is a gruelling and sombre watch, occasionally over-wrought and melodramatic, yet an absorbing and thought-provoking insight into the consequences of human catastrophe.
Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express
It's schlock, but on such a grand scale that it's quite fun to allow yourself to be carried along on its tsunami of emotion.
Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK]
There's no doubt about it: this film's an unashamed heart-wringer and a tear-jerker, but it packs an almighty punch and the CGI work at the very beginning, as Tangshan crumbles into nothingness, is impressive and pretty scary.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
A very old-fashioned but stirring movie about family values, but not in the debased sense found on the Republican Party right. A gateway into the tastes and values of Chinese society unlike the typical Chinese film export geared to Western audiences.
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews
With nuanced performances, each moment rips with cinematic humanity.
Clay Cane-BET.com
... a crowd pleaser to be sure, but a respectful one.
Sean Axmaker-Parallax View
