Reception

A.O. Scott of The New York Times gave a positive review saying "Moments of obviousness are offset by a feeling of gritty lyricism in Wayne Wang's "Princess of Nebraska," a beautifully shot but awkwardly acted movie."[2]

gollark: Also overreliance on rote memorization abd.
gollark: My main issue with it is that it forces people to study unnecessary things they do not actually like much in inefficient ways, goes around grouping people by age when this is wrong and bad, and encourages conformity and whatnot.
gollark: ALthough that is *a* problem.
gollark: That's not the problem. I apiothink there are others.
gollark: Just get all social interaction via internet™? This cannot fail.
