We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
The Playlist by Christian Gallichio
The Best is Yet to Come may take a while to get to its point, but it is nevertheless made with a sincere conviction about the ways in which journalism can give voice to the humanity underneath these restrictive laws.
The Film Stage by Christopher Schobert
It is a compelling drama––one based on a true story––and an important one, to be sure. But there are numerous missteps that lessen the impact and slow down the dramatic energy. While this keeps The Best Is Yet to Come from greatness, the film remains a powerful, worthy tale of investigative writing and compassionate reportage.
Even at this point in his career, Wang is skilled enough to find a strong emotional through-line amidst a mess of tattered threads.
The Hollywood Reporter by Deborah Young
The fast-moving story goes deeper than a pure thriller, as Wang Jing focuses on the faces of his characters in all their anxiety and human dignity.
The Best Is Yet to Come is superbly well-made, making a compelling case for recognizing the humanity of others even in the midst of illness, even when ignorance and politicized paranoia threaten your compassion. It’s not hard to discern the relevance.
It is the film’s ever pertinent call for objectivity and humanity in the daily news cycle which makes it stirringly relevant.
