Cronica lui Guy Lodge:

La faza cu Cristopher Doyle, se pare ca nu de asta duce lipsa filmul, filmul o sa aiba "imagini frumoase" (moartea pasiunii pentru Twinsen
), dar intr-adevar cronicile sunt rezervate pana acum.
"That's a comforting note to end on, but it's a late epiphany in a film where the director spends far too much time play-acting as Zhang Yimou or, far more oddly, play-acting as himself. There appears to be a level of self-parody even to the film's bountiful beauty, as the clever-clever focus manipulations and doubled visages of Philippe Le Sourd's autumnally-toned cinematography look to beat former collaborator Christopher Doyle at his own game. (The syrupy, saturated orchestral score by Shigeru Umebayashi, to be fair, is a new stylistic gambit, though not a welcome one.)"
Nici eu nu ma astept la o (alta) capodopera WKW, dar cred ca filmul merita atentia, cred ca un film mediu valoric din filmografia lui WKW e oricum mai sus decat marea majoritate a filmelor de pe piata.
