Reception

The film has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 21 reviews. [4] Bobby LePire of Film Threat rated the film a 6 out of 10. [5] David Ehrlich of IndieWire graded the film a B. [3] Ty Burr of The Boston Globe awarded the film two and a half stars. [6]

Kevin Crust of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a positive review and wrote, "More evolution than sequel, Chen‘s chapter maintains the laidback, low-fi charm and black-and-white aesthetic infused with Nakamura’s dreamy, pensive music but also grows the characters, infusing them with more narrative purpose." [7]

Lisa Kennedy of Variety gave the film a positive review, calling it "a female-forward work with three generously drawn roles for Asian women actors." [8]

Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Soft black-and-white cinematography (by Bill Otto and Carl Nenzen Loven) and low-key humor help offset the limitations of its partly crowd-funded budget, as does the naturalism of the partly improvised performances." [9]

John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review, calling it "A beautifully shot, settled-down finale." [2]
