Rating: B+ --
It's an awkwardly funny and bleak black comedy on unbridled voyeurism that reflects cynically on the human condition.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
This ballad of sad losers mixed with satire on parochial politics is convulsively funny yet uncompromisingly bleak, bridging art with entertainment.

Variety
Gripping, funny, and socially relevant-The Great Buddha+ is worth a watch if you have any interest in Taiwanese society or cinema.

Cinema Escapist
The good cheer goes a long way in countering the knee-jerk cynicism, which grows tiresome well before the end.

Rating: 3/4 --
...an odd, philosophical smorgasbord of scathing themes that colorfully decorate this off-kilter social critique of underclass religion and repression...an ambitious, imaginative, and bitingly humorous cultural concoction of meager existences in Taiwan

ScreenAnarchy
Most importantly, the pic gets laughs out of the class system without being glib about its cruelties. The gulf between rich and poor clearly matters to Huang, who poignantly shows how poverty robs even the dead of dignity.

Rating: 2/4 --
Which may sound good, but 'The Great Buddha+' is one of those movies that's much more rewarding to think about than it is to watch.
