What the Critics say | ||
| Die Burger Francois Bloemhof | 10 |  |
| BBC Neil Smith  For all its delicious moments, though, you can't help feeling there are a couple of ingredients missing from this frustratingly insubstantial confection. | 10 | |
| eye Weekly Jason Anderson While there are moments of grace, the film is doomed by the Hong Kong auteur's lazy reliance on old tropes (those slow-mo reveries have never seemed so pointless) and tin ear for the language, especially when it's delivered in the crappy Southern accents put on by Jones' co-stars, Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman. | 5 |  |
