Wang Wei, one of the Golden Harvest judges, points out: "This year most of the films were on disadvantaged groups, the handicapped, and local culture. Although they weren't badly done, they were too similar, displaying a narrowness of perspective."
金穗獎評審之一王瑋為文指出，「本屆有大量作品取材自弱勢族群、殘障者以及地方風情，雖然成績不差，不過同質性過高，也是一種視野的偏狹。」
