I wanted to connect with it, but I am the monster who could not get into the four-hour tragic movie.

Rating: C+ --
[I]t's hard to become emotionally invested in someone whose impossible dream is to no longer care, and the sense of yearning that might counterbalance all the hopelessness never truly materializes.

Rating: 4/5 --
If you do not, at least once across the running time, think to yourself, "why is it so LONG?", the film is not doing its job properly.

Alternate Ending
Despite its melancholia and tonal rigor, An Elephant Sitting Still exudes so much elegance, frame precision and ingenuity. Hu Bo's first and last feature is destined to have a place in cinema.

Film Inquiry
[Hu] has given us a triumph of bold sociopolitical critique and intimate human portraiture, and a reminder that you rarely encounter the one without the other.

In looking at life in northern China, Bo presents a society that has lost its way, downtrodden, selfish and living in isolation in an industrial landscape devoid of natural beauty...yet for all the film's depressing story lines, Bo achieves hope...

Description by OLDIES.com:
A landmark of Chinese cinema, Hu Bo's AN ELEPHANT SITTING STILL is a furious indictment of the spiritual costs wrought by China's economic boom from the perspective of those at the bottom. Taking place over a single day in an unnamed industrial city in northern China, the film chronicles the interlocking lives of a number of protagonists, painting a portrait of a society marked by selfishness.
