Lilting

"This is a quiet, thoughtful London-set study of love, grief and cultural differences."

"A thoughtful film whose lilting tones occasionally border on the listless."

"The relationship between Junn and Alan is perhaps a little contrived, but Lilting is an affecting story."

"A mature and moving debut feature from Cambodian director Hong Khaou."

"Boasts some wonderful performances from veteran Chinese actress Pei Pei Cheng, Ben Whishaw and the still dapper Peter Bowles."

"A quietly unique meditation on love and loss from Cambodian director Hong Khaou."

"Thanks to the delicate, multilingual set-up, almost every exchange carries an unpredictable dramatic charge."

"It's difficult to make a compelling film that begins in the midst of emotional disconnect, and Khaou never quite finds his rhythm."

"Woefully inadequate."

"Muted British chamber piece about two hitherto unconnected Londoners struggling with the loss of the young man they both loved."

"Whishaw is the most gifted and poetic actor in his age range, by a very wide margin, and everything he does here is fresh and unexpected."

"Despite a strong start, the filmmaker doesn't exactly know where to go with it."

"A more fitting title for the film would be "Limping.""

"Khaou makes a fine debut with this quietly resonant cross-cultural chamber piece."

"A deft and delicate drama."

"Delicate and unhurried almost to a fault, though also hauntingly sexy and even humorous at times."
