Hear what critics have to say about the film:

“Visually stunning and dramatically surprising, Christina Yao’s Empire of Silver is a self-assured debut film that manages to be epic in scale and intimate in focus.” –Marshall Fine, The Huffington Post

“As a period evocation, Christina Yao’s ambitious feature debut “Empire of Silver” is flawless, richly and authentically detailed and superbly photographed.” –Kevin Thomas, LA Times

“Yao keeps one eye on the specific and one eye on the general and is able to tell a story that has emotional immediacy, while always illuminating and refracting off the world outside.” –Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Sincerely,
TAPS Board
