2.5/4
“While the 1993 version was already a series of zany rom-com circumstances, this one overemphasizes the conflict with one too many swaps, coincidences, and misunderstandings to register as genuinely affecting. ” –

3.5/4
“Caught by the Tides is among Jia’s most experimental and unconventional films. In terms of structure, the film transcends the standards established during the last three decades of Jia’s output, even while ruminating on the same basic themes.” –
