“Susu, the assured and alluring feature directorial debut of Yixi Sun, is a reminder of just how far atmosphere, mystery, and style can carry a movie…Sun clearly has a fine handle on the Hitchcockian perversities of her narrative and an eye for arresting images (particularly those involving objects of Chinese culture and vintage cinema), and, overall, Susu seems to signal great things to come – for its creator, if not for the doomed and disturbed characters it revolves around.”
