External Reviews
“Cockroach is a poignant tribute to the bravery and ingenuity of a citizenry on the front lines against China.”
–The Times Literary Supplement
“Dynamic and visually stunning.”
–The Guardian
“Any Westerner inclined to think he has enough to worry about within his own borders should remember Jimmy Lai’s warning from earlier in the film: If China won’t respect its own citizens’ rights today, what will constrain its ‘dictatorial values’ when it soon becomes the world’s greatest economic power?”
