CRITIC	RATING	QUOTE
New York Post V. A. Musetto	7	After watching the eye-opening documentary China Blue, you're likely to think twice the next time you want to buy a pair of jeans.
Slant Magazine Ed Gonzalez	6	But while the film does not benefit from the great power of contrast that was central to the superior Mardi Gras: Made in China, it becomes crucial for its very methodical study of life inside a sweatshop.
New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis	8	...heartbreaking and meticulous...
Village Voice Michelle Orange	7	Shot at the peril of Peled and his crew, China Blue feels stage-managed at times, but the conditions of this 750-person factory are heartbreaking, as are the wistful faces of the girls as they stumble back to their 12-person dorm room and wonder who could possibly fit into the fatass jeans they are literally slaving to produce. Don't look now, but it might be you.
