Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse “The Romance of Book and Sword” suffers particularly for the way an extensive book was shrunk to fit in a feature format, with the issues with the story and characters and the narrative in general deeming it a mediocre effort Rated: 5 Sep 1, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
