The Grandmaster - Avaliações

...the pesky imperative to convey information is still a driving force; more than anything Wong has ever made, the movie chokes on exposition, its more poetic concerns stifled by its surfeit of plot.

...six of the most imaginatively staged and filmed fight scenes in the cinema...

...the discipline of the genre seems to have channelled Wong's flair for image-making away from the self-involved blind alleys his last few films have taken him up. The Grandmaster is something pretty special.

It boast dazzling visuals, ripe melodrama and superbly orchestrated fight sequences that rival the choreography of many a classic Hollywood musical.

Hver kamp ligner en million med rigelige slow motion-indstillinger og maleriske omgivelser.

It’s a helluva story...

Der er både smæk for skillingen og stik i hjertekulen.

...fantasifullt iscensatta slagsmålsscener, övernaturligt skickliga hjältar och fysiskt orimlig luftakrobatik. Alltsammans är vackert gestaltat med hjälp av förhöjda färger, slowmotion och sneda perspektiv.
