"The sharp-toothed yet loose-limbed Art College 1994 animates an important juncture in Chinese art history. A fond capsule of a time when the modern Chinese art world was playing host to a growing generational divide. Liu Jian attains a perfect balance of humour, thoughtfulness and heart."
"A wistful slice of comic-sad social realism somewhere in the region of Eric Rohmer wistful romances, Richard Linklater ensemble stories, and Sixth Generation semi-underground Chinese filmmakers like Jia Zhangke....feels like a lost graphic novel you find in a dive bar and love until the pages fall apart."
"A postcard from China during the 1990s. It evokes a specific time and a place so vividly that you can almost taste the stale cigarette smoke and cheap beer."
