Raining in the Mountain Reviews
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
A repetitive nature dings the film, but vivid characters and robust action set-pieces help overcome any lulls.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A wry moral tale with dashes of action.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
This is spectacular, exhilarating entertainment.
PopMatters
Michael Barrett
The quiet, extended scenes in King Hu's Raining in the Mountain are full of beauty as well as tension and anticipation.
Battleship Pretension
David Bax
It's so good it's practically a spiritual experience.
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
The pleasure in watching this film are in its pace, action, stunning locations, and even its stereotypic characters.
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
"Raining in the Mountain" is one of the best films in King Hu's filmography, as it thrives both visually and contextually, while its duration (120 minutes approximately) also makes it one of his most approachable.
