Critic Reviews

  • Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

    At times Eve plays like an unshaped memoir. What makes the film almost satisfying is that [director] Kwan has given us a charming and lovingly realized world. But halfway is still only halfway.

  • Ken Eisner, Variety

    Both a finely wrought period piece and a slice of delicately captured childhood.

  • Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail

    One of the most enchanting and memorable films made in this country.

  • Susan Walker, Toronto Star

    Eve & the Fire Horse has a kind of poetry that lifts it above the typical drama of immigrant life and gives [Kwan's] characters a lasting poignancy.

  • David Levine, Filmcritic.com

    The incomplete storylines really do a disservice to Horse's fascinating characters and to those of us watching who feel like part of the family.
