Leave your thoughts about The Grandmaster.
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertA deliriously beautiful martial-arts saga, a mix of exuberant violence and restrained eroticism. |
| MetroActiveRichard von BusackOne of the best films of 2013. Wong is a Chinese director who sees China as exotic: he presents the 1930s Paramount version of China, with orchids, opium, crimson lipstick and satin slippers.as he is by the dangerous Hong Kong of the early 1950s |
| Kaplan vs. KaplanJeanne Kaplan"The Grandmaster" is just that --- grand --- and masterful. Wong Kar Wai's odyssey has paid off handsomely. |
| Seattle TimesSoren AndersonWriter-director Wong Kar-wai has made a martial-arts movie that is truly a work of art. His "The Grandmaster" is a picture of staggering beauty. |
