Rating: 2/5 --
Zhang gives his fondness for chaste melodrama and shimmering colours full rein: it's a style that suits his courtly martial arts films such as Hero, but this material would have benefited from a more Spielbergian, or perhaps David Lean-ian, approach.

Rating: 3/5 --
While absorbing and never dull you can't help feeling the horrific subject matter deserved rather more subtle handling.

It contributes nothing of value to an understanding of these events.

Observer (UK)
3 stars out of 5 -- Filmed like a graphic novel....It's an exaggerated and poetic horror that colours his cold apocalypse.
Total Film
4 stars out of 5 -- Zhang Yimou's visually stunning style is evident throughout his latest, and most ambitious film, THE FLOWERS OF WAR.
Box Office
Rating: 3/5 --
Bale is forthright and emotional in the role, and with a hint of boyish vulnerability, even reminds us of his 13-year-old self in Spielberg's Empire of the Sun.

Rating: 3/5 --
It can look tremendous, even if Zhao Xiaoding's hyper-stylised '90-retro cinematography sits uneasily beside relentless bloodshed and sexual violations.
