RTToronto StarMar 21, 2003

For all of its insights into the dream world of teen life, and its electronic expression through cyber culture, the film gives no quarter to anyone seeking to pull a cohesive story out of its 2 1/2-hour running time.

RTChicago Sun-TimesNov 29, 2002

This movie is maddening. It conveys a simple message in a visual style that is willfully overwrought.

RTSan Francisco ChronicleNov 15, 2002

Once you get into its rhythm ... the movie becomes a heady experience.

All About Lily Chou-Chou is a modern classic, one of the best, if not the best, cinematic experiences of the ‘00.
