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.

Rated: 2.5/4

Nicolas Rapold

New York Times

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.

Rated: 3/5

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

Rated: 2/4

The Last Thing I See

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.

Rated: B-

Eye for Film

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

More a frequently elegant drama than an outright action movie.
