Reviews
the drama is cheesy, simplistic and too stodgy in its presentation to really hold up to its historic framing and epic sweep
Visually impressive and emotionally complex, this historical epic, winner of the Cannes Festival Palme d'Or, relates the tumultuous history of China through the story of two friends who meet as children and become stars of the Peking Opera.
Well-acted but limited because its drama is emotionally uninvolving.
