    Ang Lee, a world-class director working at the top of his elegant form, has done something thrilling. For all the leaping action, it's the film's spirit that soars. Read full review

    Transcends its origins and becomes one of a kind. It's glorious, unashamed escapism and surprisingly touching at the same time. Read full review

Information for Parents
Common Sense Media says OK for kids 12+ Amazing, magical martial arts fairy tale.
What Parents Need to Know Parents need to know that this movie features a lot of martial arts battles. Most are bloodless, but one character is killed when a blade is hurtled into his forehead. Major characters are killed, and one death could be interpreted as suicide. Although the women in the movie are treated with complete equality and are equal to or superior to the men in judgement and combat, one female character expresses bitterness that she was not permitted to train as a warrior. There is brief mild language.
  • Families can talk about how we balance our heads and our hearts to forge lives that are grounded in honor and in love.
The good stuff
  • rolemodels true2 Positive role models: Women are as strong and effective as the men, often more so.
What to watch for
  • violence false3 Violence: A lot of kick-boxing and other fighting, brilliantly staged. Characters killed. Possible suicide.
  • sex false2 Sex: Implied sexual encounter, nothing shown.
  • language false1 Language: Brief mild language.
  • consumerism false0 Consumerism: Not an issue
  • drugsalcoholtobacco false0 Drinking, drugs and smoking: Not an issue
