2.5/4

This is a rare case where, if a film had been livelier and less traditional and "respectful," its lead performance might have seemed less special.

3/5

Seriously, if not always elegantly, the film portrays the great Ip Man as someone trying to survive, which is to say just as often a victim as a victor.

Soap opera, set-bound and unexceptionally written and directed.

Final Fight is supposed to be the portrait of a life, but it is so scattered, contains so much, that it becomes impossible to pinpoint what it's all about.

3.5/5

With a political edge that recalls some of the work of Ip Man's most famous pupil, the film is nevertheless at its strongest as a character study.

More a frequently elegant drama than an outright action movie.
