(1 - 14) of 14 OFCS Rating: 21% Rotten Page   1   2.5/5 "The Children of Huang Shi is so desperate to be the Asian Schindler's List, an example of atrocity draped in abject artistry, that it forgets to lay out the context."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron D+ "Ah, white people. What can't they do?"   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 1.5/5 "history as drivel, rebellion as Sunday-morning hangover"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin "With all the stories to be told about the war between Japan and China, it's hard to believe that this one was the most compelling or most in need of telling."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 1.5/4 "A dull dramatization of -- and ill-fitting testament to -- British journalist George Hogg's experiences in war torn China."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth "Too much flat love interest, too much love triangle, and three stock-character grown-ups are in the end too much baggage for 'The Children of Huang Shi.'"   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 1.5/4 "Like an eager frequent flyer, Western paternalism changes destinations but not its baggage."   Slant Magazine   Fernando F. Croce C "High-minded and good-looking, but plodding and emotionally rather shallow."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "Dares to explore the creativity and the courage that go into compassionate action during wartime deprivation and violence."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 1.5/4 "An ill-conceived weeper that just won't say die."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth "A TV movie in disguise."   Cinematical   Nick Schager 4/10 "Nothing in this film is subtle or unexpected, and even the hero's several near-death experiences create no real tension"   Playback:stl   Sarah Boslaugh B- "... an affecting portrait and a strong story with a compelling backdrop, and Chinese cinematographer Xiaoding Zhao makes the gorgeous locations look magnificent."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 14) of 14 OFCS Rating: 21% Rotten Page   1
