Rating: 3/4 --
A poetic elegy for lost childhood and societal justice.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
Qu unpacks much that matters in Angels Wear White, including the abuse of power and importance of status and wealth in Chinese society, but her most thoughtful, nuanced observations involve female sexuality.

Village Voice
In its perceptions and mood, "Angels Wear White" plays like acutely serious female noir.

Los Angeles Times
Rating: 7/10 --
...a fast-paced, beautifully-shot thriller set in contemporary China, and a film that would be well worth seeing even if the subject matter were not so timely.

This all sounds grim, and it is. But the story grabs you. Ms. Qu shoots the sturdily constructed scenario with unshowy sharpness.

New York Times
Rating: 4/5 --
Heartbreaking and rousing in equal measure, it is simply not possible to watch without feeling incentivised to act. A film that lingers in the mind.

One Room With A View
Rating: 3/5 --
Using the powerful symbol of the Monroe edifice throughout the film, and an apparently non-threatening seaside location, Qu has made a harsh feminist critique of present-day-on-the-surface-modern China's endemic attitudes towards women.

In a small seaside town, two schoolgirls are assaulted by a middle-aged man in a motel. Mia, a teenager who was working on reception that night, is the only witness.

Trapped in a world that offers them no safety, Mia and Wen will have to find their own way out.
