What the Critics said:

o "['Face'] is realistic and highly entertaining perceptively written,
imaginatively directed [and] brilliantly acted.... Pan's three actresses give
astonishingly varied, spontaneous, powerfully human, award-worthy portrayals.
As a filmmaker, Pan succeeds on almost every level: generating atmosphere,
weaving an engrossing tale and eliciting marvelous performances.
- Michael Wilmington, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

o "['Face'] is likely to remain in your head long afterward... The
director's attention to details of character and locale makes for a precise
evocation of a New York seldom seen in feature films. "
- Dana Stevens, NEW YORK TIMES

o "It's a testament to the bare-bones decency displayed by director
Bertha Bay-Sa Pan that we're compelled"
- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

o "Luminous... Pan's actors are exceptional with a vibrant hip hop score
and atmospheric cinematography."
- Kirk Honeycutt, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

o "Everything is clicking in the independent film 'Face'... The cast is
very good, filled with bright young talent, [the] cinematography is top notch."
- G. Allen Johnson, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

o "'Face' takes a conventional culture-clash theme and gives it the kick
(and hop) of a good music mix tape."

From the top to the bottom of the cast list, there are performances rich in
detail and intelligence."

reveals the tolls on Asians who must maintain 'Face.' Pan elicits beautiful
performances from actresses playing the three women."

emotion, Chinese culture, a hip-hop score and four surprisingly strong
performances."

from her appealing cast."
