The film follows a trio of Chinese exchange students who arrive in New York City in 1980, eager for what America has to offer. They make friends including a literature teacher named Dexter and his girlfriend Suzanne. As they try to adjust to the New York city atmosphere, they become disillusioned with America, eventually buying a firearm for self-defense.[2] Cast
ReceptionThe film received positive reviews, with critics mostly praising the leads' performances and including minor critiques of the script. Variety, for example, called the acting "solid, particularly by O’Nan, Nam and Jacobs. But the conversations feel artificial, overly concerned with re-creating period detail."[1] Daniel Gold of The New York Times adds that the film "nicely captures the grad-student vibe: beer-fueled bull sessions ... fragile, self-absorbed egos preening even as confidence wavers."[2] Paste Magazine states, that "overall, the film rises above the usual trappings of low-budget productions and succeeds with a smart script and able performances from the cast of (mostly) unknowns, whether you’re looking for sociopolitical commentary or just a small tale well told."[3] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |last=Scheib |first=Ronnie |url=https://variety.com/2012/film/reviews/watching-tv-with-the-red-chinese-1117946851/ |title=Watching TV With the Red Chinese |work=Variety |date=January 18, 2012 |accessdate=January 14, 2018}} 2. ^1 {{cite web |last=Gold |first=Daniel M. |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/20/movies/gillian-jacobs-in-watching-tv-with-the-red-chinese-review.html |title=How Lennon's Death Affected U.S.-Chinese Relations |work=The New York Times |date=January 19, 2012 |accessdate=January 14, 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web |last=Kaufman |first=Dan |url=https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2012/01/watching-tv-with-the-red-chinese.html |title=Watching TV with the Red Chinese |work=Paste |date=January 19, 2012 |accessdate=August 2, 2012}} External links
