Consensus: Despite some beautifully framed images, this mood piece, told in a fractured fashion, is confounding and, ultimately, unsatisfying.
Synopsis: Gong Li, star of such epics as RAISE THE RED LANTERN and JU DOU, is unforgettable as the title character in ZHOU YU'S TRAIN, the poignant story of an unusual love triangle set in the Chinese... [More]

...lovely and slight

See Zhou Yu’s Train for the interesting Chinese scenery, or see it to feast your eyes on the always beautiful Gong Li, but don’t see it for the drama
11/27/04
A film that has considerably less on its mind than it thinks.
10/30/04
Li fails to stoke much heat in Sun Zhou's pretentious and symbolic love triangle.
10/19/04
It just may be a movie that has difficulty transcending national borders.
10/19/04
[Zhou Yu]'s contradictory impulses, as well as a convoluted narrative structure, make Zhou Yu's Train a rough ride.
10/15/04
The whole thing would be pretty painful if not for the presence of Gong, who makes some of it watchable.

Most, I suspect, will walk out of the theater wondering why they had to work so hard for so little reward.

When the sum of this film's parts are measured, it is nothing more than a celebration of the exquisitely beautiful Gong Li.

Zhou Yu's Train has its strengths, but it's clearly no bullet train.
09/17/04
A knotty, dreamy paean to romantic longing, Zhou Yu's Train is at once ravishing and precise.
09/17/04
Zhou Yu's Train looks good, but there's no denying that there's very little lurking underneath its pretty surface.
09/16/04
Has a tiny little point -- living solely by one's emotions can be a painful time-waster -- but it makes that point within a needlessly tricky structure and with too much time spent on images that amount to pretty, poetic filler.
09/16/04
Dramatically, this train never leaves the station.
09/11/04
[An] over-conceived, over-edited, under-written perfume ad.
