Rating: 1/4 -- A missed opportunity on almost all levels, a gimmick that really should be an avant-garde piece of existentialism that instead never gets off the ground. Full Review

The result of a massive, years-long project to compile, select, and mould ... Xu's meta-video work comments continuously on its own fakery-a fact evidently lost on most of the trade critics... Full Review

A failed experiment. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Dragonfly Eyes succeeds in moments of unadulterated arthouse sensory overload, especially when Xu zeroes in on quietly beautiful and oddly coloured cityscapes, repetition, symmetrical environments and unintentionally artful framing. Full Review

"Dragonfly Eyes" disappoints with its unsatisfying combination of an ultra-banal narrative told in a formally original way. Full Review

Despite the narrative abstraction and exposed artifice of the film's construction, Xu's creation feels creepily alive-because it is. Full Review

Dragonfly Eyes is quietly disturbing, filled with unease and malaise but also rich in poetry: it's a provocative film for our times which marries conceptual art with cinema in a fresh and unusual way. Full Review
