"The movie is very informative. The underlying message moved me.
Love over fear - a simple yet powerful message that people dealing with China should always bear in mind."

"I’m very glad that someone chose to make an art film on this subject.
The director must be full of passion and a strong sense of mission to have undertaken such a project.
I think it is a very effective approach to dissect a dictator and examine him as an ordinary human being.
The film’s in-depth analysis of how dictators use “fear” to control people is particularly compelling."

"LOVE SUPREME: Dialogue with Xi Jinping is a thoughtful and unconventional work. It blends political critique, personal introspection, and spiritual aspiration in a way that few films attempt.
As it stands, it offers a unique perspective — one that invites viewers to reflect not only on political history, but also on the inner life of the filmmaker behind it. "

"When discussing the CCP’s authoritarian approach, we often focus on academic topics like the rule of law or human rights. However, this film takes a refreshing and unique perspective by exploring the psychological side: how people are forced into submission through fear.
Before watching, I expected a dense historical documentary. Instead, I found a clear, contemporary story centered on a 'dialogue' between the director and Xi Jinping. In these scenes, the fear felt by those under oppression is projected through the director himself. This prevents 'fear' from remaining just an abstract concept and turns it into an emotion the audience can truly feel and relate to.
The film also provides a very clear overview of Xi Jinping’s upbringing and the power struggles within the party. Even for those with no prior knowledge of Chinese political history, it is easy to follow. I would highly recommend this film to anyone."
