[A] martial-arts movie landmark, as strong in its performances as it is spectacularly novel in its violence.

It is a creative and aesthetic masterpiece.

Fiction Machine
[With] breathtaking visuals, which are on par with the heightened fairytale aesthetics of Yimou’s celebrated mid-’00s wuxia epics.

San Jose Mercury News
3.5 stars out of 4 -- [I]t's filled with so many remarkable images, particularly in its middle section, that fans of palace intrigue and metaphorically ripe violence will find plenty to like.
RogerEbert.com
Not much more to say, "Shadow" is one of the greatest wuxia films of all time, an audiovisual poem and overall, a true masterpiece.

Asian Movie Pulse
Every supremely controlled stylistic element of Zhang Yimou’s breathtakingly beautiful SHADOW is an echo of another, a motif repeated, a pattern recurring in a fractionally different way each time.

Product Description:
Chinese director Zhang Yimou's epic wuxia film draws inspiration for its bi-chromatic palette from the yin-and-yang symbol and Chinese ink-brush painting. During The Three Kingdoms (220–280 AD) era, a wounded military commander (Deng Chao) employs a doppelgänger (also portrayed by Deng) to replace him in public so that his kingdom betrays no sign of weakness.
