Review For Sacrifice
With its widescreen compositions and flame-illuminated interiors, "Sacrifice" is visually entrancing. Yet the movie is not just an exercise in style. Mark Jenkins-Washington Post It is handsomely done and well-acted, but it lacks real energy or purpose. Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times Perhaps it's all that armor, or that even the estimable Mr. Wang seems exhausted by the film's dolorous themes, but it's tough to care about characters who spend most of their lives obsessing over the violent deaths of others. Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times Chen Kaige (Farewell My Concubine) cowrote and directed, and his talent for psychological drama isn't really suited to this sort of broad, mythic storytelling. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader It charges out of the gate in Indiana Jones style, employing so many plot twists that you may need a scorecard. Then after an hour or so, it settles into an intimate, character-driven drama, before its low-key yet thought-provoking finale. David Lewis-San Francisco Chronicle Now who exactly are those two guys slurping noodles? Are they both doctors? Why do they matter? Mark Feeney-Boston Globe Both a thrilling swordplay epic as well as an intimate chamber drama about clashing filial loyalties. Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews The visuals from Chen and his crew are striking. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com The master's touch is evident throughout a carefully calibrated drama that builds to a shocking tragedy. Kirk Honeycutt-honeycuttshollywood.com Chinese film fans will be intrigued by a shift to more human, less spectacle-based storytelling. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press Chen can't seem to decide whether he's making a fable or something more down-to-earth, but Sacrifice works either way, if not both at once. Sam Adams-AV Club There are some wonderful wuxia-style fight scenes spread throughout, and a last duel finally shifts all the plodding backstory into a visual spectacle. Jake Mulligan-Boston Phoenix A widowed father grooms his son to be a killer in a sweeping drama set in fifth-century B.C. China. Daniel Eagan-Film Journal International A historical melodrama that retains an ancient, elemental pull even as it insufficiently charts motivation and the self-denying values of antiquity. Bill Weber-Slant Magazine Techs are terrific, from costume to cinematography, giving the film a lovely look. Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews Kaige Chen reaches back in time to tell another story of a child's relation to his father as well as his place in history. Featuring a grounding performance from You as the adoptive parent, "Sacrifice" is at once both epic and intimate. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
