Stephen Saito Variety Envisioning a romance with the verve of an action film, Hu... pulls together different worlds beyond where its protagonists come from. While the results can be occasionally messy, more often than not the pairing brings out the best parts in one another. Dec 4, 2024 Full Review Ruth Maramis FlixChatter Film Blog It’s a deeply romantic and intimate film with some really touching, poetic moments, even when no word is spoken. Filmed on locations around China, from the lush countryside to the modern city streets, the cinematography is as beautiful as it is evocative. Rated: 4/5 Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Despite these issues, the film’s strengths far outweigh its flaws, with “Bound in Heaven” emerging as a truly competent debut, and a rather captivating, multi-leveled love story. Rated: 6.5 Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Carlos F. Heredero Caimán Cuadernos de Cine The result (visually powerful at times) is somewhat irregular and not entirely successful. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 23, 2024 Full Review John Berra Screen International Bound In Heaven consistently holds attention yet sacrifices its power when conforming to type. Oct 16, 2024 Full Review James Mottram South China Morning Post While there is a wayward, meandering quality to the story, ... the film is seasoned with a realism that brings audiences back down to earth with a bump.
