Critics Consensus

Chocolate is a bizarre martial arts flick, with a slushy plot, an unusual protagonist, and breathtaking stunts.

The focus is on the fights and, though I am hardly a connoisseur of the genre, I was certainly entertained by the fight sequences.

Wesley Morris

Boston Globe

It's called Chocolate, but Cheese would have been just as good. Soaked with tears, full of schmaltz, and yet strewn with bodies, Prachya Pinkaew's new kick-'em-up is extreme action, extreme melodrama, and extremely hard to resist.

Rated: 3/4

Austin Chronicle

At its heart, Chocolate is a simple tale of a special girl trying to make her way in a considerably unspecial world.

Rated: 3.5/4

Deep Focus Review

Even for audiences hoping to lose themselves in a procession of martial arts displays, the banality of the story keeps creeping in, distracting, and insisting upon its useless attempts to jerk a tear.

Rated: 1/4

The filmmaking is often sloppy and filled with awkward performances... But the fights are terrific, tightly choreographed with a good sense of ensemble movement and shot in long takes that showcase the fluidity of the action...

The action scenes are intriguing, starting simply and building up to use dangerous props and treacherous locations.

Rated: 6/10

The fight scenes and the stunts were decent and shot in a good way. That's everything good the movie had to offer. Everything else is terrible, starting from the cinematography, which looks like something out of a telenovela, the same goes for the dialogues. The actors are as bad as you can find them (except in the fights where they act at least decently). The plot is botched, almost non-existent. Overall, I wouldn't suggest the film even to anyone who just wants martial arts. Save yourself 110'.

The movie is not only a fantastic display of great martial arts action sequences but it has the most realistic showing of Autism I've seen and does it so much better in Hollywood productions
