Legend of the Mountain Reviews
Slant Magazine
Greg Cwik
Every pan and snap zoom and dissolve is exact, every whorl of smoke and wind-thrown swath of leaves pulled from a dream and placed methodically before our eyes.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Legend of the Mountain is a beautiful movie to be sure, but it's also a movie that understands beauty.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Legend Of The Mountain has two leading female characters who are remarkably forceful for the period.
Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A slow-to-start but delightful tale of ancient magic and clueless men.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
You can get lost in these pictorial reveries as you trace the rays of light piercing the trees, brightening the dark waters and the reality-softening haze.
Village Voice
Simon Abrams
Legends of the Mountain's narrative fuse may be long, but Hu knows exactly when to light it and when to snuff it out.
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
Apart from the focus on nature King hu weaves an intricate story of a battle between good and evil, where nothing is as it seems and in which Ho Yunqing finds himself being unwillingly steered toward directions he does not wish or even imagined following
MUBI
Sean Gilman
These are less horror films in the Western sense of stories designed to scare or shock the audience, but rather more eerie expressions of a numinous world, cutting to the heart of the mysteries at the center of existence that give rise to religious belief
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
Legend of the Mountain is looser, funnier than [King Hu's] earlier wuxia films-and, at three hours, a bit of a commitment.
