Sinekatalog’s take
Ann Hui's period drama follows a Hong Kong resistance movement during the Japanese occupation, led by a schoolteacher. Zhou Xun, Eddie Peng and Wallace Chung star in a handsome, earnest but somewhat slow wartime story.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
