We are not, as in so many a contemporary documentary, made to merely identify with the position of cameraperson, but are forced to consider and find our own ethical and political positions.

In a fast growing city of East China, migrants have been arriving and living in pursuit of a better life. But what they find there is few opportunities and poor living conditions that push people, even couples, into violent and oppressive relations.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Ben Kenigsberg
It’s not clear that the director quite found what he was looking for.
Screen International by Jonathan Romney
A characteristically rough-edged work, both visually and in the sound recording, the film eschews aesthetic finesse to follow its multiple characters where situations demand, to strikingly vivid effect.
Slant Magazine by Peter Goldberg
Wang Bing's documentaries are angry, raw testaments to the human spirit in the face of social injustice. In this regard, his latest, the harrowing, soulful Bitter Money, is fortunately no exception.
