A stylish, smart, edgy, exciting and involving trek though familiar folklore, often better than the masses have been told and even more appealing after repeat viewings.

Film Threat
The film has a wonderful style and a sense of movement that barely slows down for its two and a half hours.

Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Brotherhood of the Wolf supplies enough to satisfy many tastes without overwhelming them. It is one of the most sporadically inspired films of recent memory; and I would say, prematurely, of all time.
Moviola
'Magnífica oportunidad para poder apreciar otro tipo de cine de acción que no provenga de Hollywood, donde la calidad está peleada con la taquilla y la maquinaria generadora de dólares.'

L.A. Weekly
A wonder of magpie postmodernism, a samurai adventure with Hong Kong action and a wry touch of American Western, all sewn into a free interpretation of Gallic history that also has its finger on the pulse of current social trends.
Montreal Film Journal
Blends too many genres to be easily described, but whatever it is, it's awesome!

...has better action scenes, a superior love story, and more interesting characters (than "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon").
