Critics reviews

The most impressive aspect of the film is its stunning visuals—like a display of multi-colored cotton candy, each composition has its own hue and even its own texture, and one shot cuts to another as quickly as the delectable treat dissolves on your tongue.

This punkish wuxia is a thrilling comic action showcase, with the kung fu cranked to such absurd levels that hardly anyone walks in favor of flying and fists tear the air with such force that they produce tidal waves. But beneath the sparring is a scathing indictment of religious sanctimony and the social repression it engenders.
