Plot Story : One of China's foremost Sixth Generation directors, Wang Xiaoshuai (Beijing Bicycle, Shanghai Dreams) tells a striking, autobiographical coming-of-age tale set in the final days of China's Cultural Revolution. Eleven-year-old Wang Han lives with his family in a remote village in Guizhou province. When Wang is selected to lead his school through their daily gymnastic regiment, his teacher recommends that he wear a clean, new shirt in honor of this important position - a request that forces his family to make a great sacrifice.

Review For Movie 11 Flowers
More sensitive than disaffected, too gentle to resonate more than mildly.Aaron Hillis-Village Voice
The movie lingers in the mind, largely because director Wang Xiaoshuai's theme is poignant and classic: The more a child perceives of what the adults around him are doing, the more childhood slips away.
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
Poised on the brink of sexual awareness and the waning of the Cultural Revolution, an 11-year-old boy struggles to interpret the signals from his changing body and an increasingly confusing world.
Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times
Wang Xiaoshuai's gently engrossing coming-of-age tale isn't strikingly unique, but it does possess the heartfelt confidence that comes from autobiographical influence - and natural talent.
Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News
Mildly resonant, if not revelatory.
David Fear-Time Out New York
An absorbing coming-of-age drama set during the waning stage of China's Cultural Revolution, 11 Flowers takes its place among Wang Xiaoshuai's finest films.
Justin Chang-Variety
A richly directed and historically credible film that -- with its sense of time and place -- ends up functioning as fascinating and poignant temporal travelogue.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
This brilliant coming-of-age story should demonstrate that Americans should be hacking Chinese computers to steal intellectual property and not the other way around--especially Hollywood.
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews
Graceful, tender and poignant with a very believable, organic character arc. It's more than your average coming-of-age story.
Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru
A compelling Chinese coming-of-age drama about a young boy's initiation into the adult world of violence and mystery.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
Because of its choice in subjectivity, and despite the film's historical context, 11 Flowers firmly elevates the experience of the personal over the political.
