"Better Days" has received great reviews in North America, with a 100% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a score of 7.5 on iMDb

The movie "Better Days" starring Zhou Dongyu and Yi Yang Qianxi has already grossed over 1.5 billion yuan in mainland theaters. The theater key has been extended to December 8. The film was released in 70 theaters in North America on November 8. Today, the film's reputation was lifted, with a 5-fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a freshness rating of 100%. The following are excerpts from the film reviews:

Andrew Stover (Film Inquiry): In a two-hour movie, the topic the film wants to discuss may be a little messy, but under Zhou Dongyu's superb acting and camera, the cruelty of bullying is still well shown.

Richard Whittaker (Austin Chronicle): Despite its dark tone, Better Days tells a hopeful story about how courage and honesty can fix a system that seems so badly broken.

Richard Yu's (Cinema Escapist) overly realistic bullying scenes also make the film more realistic and sympathetic to the audience.

John Berra (Screen International) “Better Days” has the cunningness to slip into some kind of empty art, but it’s hard not to be moved by its genuine concern.

In addition, the iMDb score of "Better Days" also reached 7.5 points. The film grossed over one million dollars when it opened, becoming the second Chinese-language film after "Nezha" to gross over one million dollars in North America. The film's current cumulative box office in North America is 1.83 million US dollars.
