Confucius Reviews
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Tim Robey
The ancient Chinese philosopher, he say Chow Yun-Fat no good at playing him, no good at all, in this painfully dreary epic biopic.
Guardian
Xan Brooks
Its constant bowing and scraping set my teeth on edge. Confucius loves Confucius -- endlessly and unconditionally -- and flatly demands that we do too.
Little White Lies
Tom Seymour
For its faults and excesses, Confucius may be the trickle that turns into a flood. Western audiences will learn to love it. They will have little choice.
London Evening Standard
Derek Malcolm
Chow Yun-fat plays the philosopher with dignified aplomb; otherwise, we rely on action as much as words, and never learn enough about the man.
sbs.com.au
Don Groves
Chow Yun-fat fails to inspire as Chinese philosopher.
Fan The Fire
Martin Roberts
The narrative feels unfocused at times and the pace is changeable, but give it a chance and the presence of Chow Yun-Fat, at least, will win you over.
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
This ambitious biopic feels chopped down from something much longer, as it leaps through the story without giving us much to engage with.
Film4
Anton Bitel
it celebrates the ethics of what would later become known as Confucianism, but also stages the mismatch between high ideals and realpolitik - as though to say that there was no place in China for China's greatest thinker.
Radio Times
Jeremy Aspinall
Beautifully shot (by Crouching Tiger cameraman Peter Pau) and contains a magnetic central performance from the ever-charismatic Chow.
