A film where everything could be solved in 20 minutes. In a few words: a total waste of time. [Full review in Spanish]

A sophisticated and flawless Asian film that its parsimonious pace may make it a little boring for anyone used to the Hollywood conventions, but well worth of the opportunity to approach filmic forms from other latitudes. [Full review in Spanish]

The visuals relegate the acting to secondary importance. They overwhelm the story. And they make "The Assassin" unforgettable.

It's so lovely, from the brocade draped interiors to the mist moving over a landscape in the half light, like a series of confounding paintings placed end to end.
