Jourdain Searles The Hollywood Reporter Feb 13
Rock Springs is a big swing from Miao that pays off in the end, blending drama, horror and ugly American history to create a truly heartbreaking and hopefully healing experience. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Feb 2
The two halves of this film never cohere into a satisfying whole as Vera Miao can’t figure out how to make us interested in this traumatized family that’s never developed into something that feels three-dimensional. Go to Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Jan 26
Miao has a brisk, tingling command of atmosphere, and if she occasionally seems still in search of a style all her own, this promising debut has a human touch and point of view that are rather more distinctive within the genre. Go to Full Review Molly Henery The Blogging Banshee 1d
6.5/10
Rock Springs sheds light on a forgotten tragedy through a modern horror lens and traditional Chinese folklore. Go to Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Film Festival Today 3d
2.5/5
What happened in 1885 deserves its own feature-length, standalone treatment, perhaps as a documentary. "Rock Springs" tries, but never quite does that tragedy full justice. Go to Full Review Rua Fay Cinemasters 4d
There are some well-done elements here, but none of them stop Rock Springs from feeling like a first feature, which it is. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
