Citation de la réalisatrice [en anglais]

« Our understanding of what a Chinese immigrant woman would be is exactly what we see at the beginning of the film [Meditation Park]. Then, it gets broken down, and so our expectations as an audience get turned on their head—and then we're off to the races. If we can identify her as a hero, then can't we all be heroes? »
-- Mina Shum (source)

Citations sur Meditation Park [en anglais]

« Ultimately [the story of Meditation Park] rests on an affecting and absolutely lovely performance by Cheng Pei-Pei. Known in her youth as an invincible wuxia warrior in martial arts movies like Come Drink With Me, she is just undaunted as a quiet 60-something housewife, her wondrously expressive face carrying this film and its optimistic vision of late-life renewal. »
-- Alison Gillmor (source)

« [In Meditation Park, Mina] Shum deftly juggles several narrative threads, always providing enough information so that her characters register as three-dimensional. Chief among them is Sandra Oh as Maria's daughter Ava, now starting a family of her own and too distracted by that to notice that her mother is in a state. »
