    "Acclaimed Taiwanese filmmaker Ang Lee made his directorial debut with this drama, leavened with gentle comedy, about a household turned upside down by a man who could not be much more out of place."— Janet Maslin, The New York Timeshttp://movies.nytimes.com/movie/147286/Pushing-Hands/overview

    "As with all of Lee’s movies, regardless of genre trappings, the film concerns itself with family and duty, and how the two co-exists, for better or worst."" Nix On,BeyondHollywood.com,http://www.beyondhollywood.com/pushing-hands-1992-movie-review/
