- Ronnie Scheib, VARIETY

"YOUNG & RESTLESS IN CHINA is a stunning, sweeping look at a country amid a frenzied if thoroughly compromised process of self-reinvention."

- Carina Chocano, LOS ANGELES TIMES

"This accessible, engaging documentary follows the lives of youngish Chinese citizens over the course of a few years... Their stories illustrate the profound changes, for better and for worse, that China’s double-digit economic growth has instigated in every area of life. At its best, YOUNG & RESTLESS IN CHINA plays like a prosaic complement to the films of Jia Zhangke."

- Joshua Land, TIME OUT NEW YORK

"With YOUNG & RESTLESS IN CHINA Sue Williams once again demonstrates how documentary film can elevate to an art form. With extraordinary access to her characters' lives, she takes us into the world of modern China...where we meet the generation searching for a new future, for more freedom and for 'the good life'."

– Joel Surnow, Creator and Executive Producer, 24

"YOUNG & RESTLESS IN CHINA highlights the wide spectrum of issues which have surfaced within China as a result of its explosive transformation into a global, economic powerhouse. Particularly poignant is the way the film helps us realize that, in spite of the differences in culture and geography, many of the traits which define us as human beings are universal."

– Steve Chen, Founder, YouTube

"Amid the build up to the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, increased international debate over the riots in Tibet, and China’s funding of Sudan’s military, YOUNG & RESTLESS IN CHINA could not have better timing. But more than that, it feels like a necessary film."
