The LA Time's reviewer Kenneth Turan gives "Summer Palace" a critic's choice recommendation stating:AS politically provocative as it is sexually candid, the ambitious and assured "Summer Palace" is just the kind of film calculated to give the Chinese government fits. And it did. (Review of Summer Palace by Kenneth Turan)
