“The creation of a wildly original artist coming into his own...feels alive with possibility...marks the start of one of modern cinema’s great careers.“
—A.O. Scott, New York Times
“No director since Fassbinder has such insight into the lives of lost young men in crumbling inner cities as Tsai Ming-Liang delivers in this devastating first feature. Brilliantly observed...as tender as a Lou Reed elegy.”
—Tony Rayns, Time Out London
“No longer simply a cult classic, Rebels of the Neon God is part of the history of gay youth consciousness in popular culture.”
—Armond White, OUT.com
“Makes one yearn for an alternative reality where it, not Pulp Fiction, became the beacon of ’90s independent filmmaking.”
—Clayton Dillard, Slant Magazine
“Tsai’s most accessible film is more unusual and uncompromising than any you’re likely to see this year.”
—Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
“One of the most quietly influential films in the world cinema of 1992...a cornerstone of the Taiwanese New Wave...would have fit in quite nicely alongside early ’90s art-house films such as Krzysztof Kieslowski’s Three Colors trilogy and Wong Kar-wai’s Days of Being Wild and Chungking Express.”
—G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
“As a first film, it is incredibly accomplished, its influences (French New Wave, Wong Kar-Wai) apparent but integrated...you can see a director falling in love with the poetics of minimalism.”
—Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
