...lacking. While Wei’s acting is exquisite, the script, co-written by Focus Features favorite James Schamus, fails to make believable her transition from schoolgirl to femme fatale. In an Associated Press article, Lee recognized that American audiences—and box offices—might not react well to the NC-17 rating and subtitles. “Its pace, its film language —it’s all very Chinese...It’s not very audience-friendly for a market like the U.S. It’s not their subject matter...

"In simulations," the flight manual warns, "the outcome of the landings varied widely due to the extreme sensitivity to pilot technique and timing." The director...
...format of the evening is curious. In his calm and fluent voice - "dear friends," he calls us - he requests that we not ask questions, but make statements, so that he can react to them in a form of dialogue. The academics are not shy. They make statements not only about the need for dialogue and reconciliation, but castigate the Iranian government for chilling press freedoms and for arresting Iranian-American scholars who were only trying to foster better relations between America and Iran. Throughout, Ahmadinejad is courtly, preternaturally calm, and fiercely articulate...
