      Deborah Young Hollywood Reporter There's more to the art of the thriller than exciting cutting and dizzying camerawork, as evidenced in the misguided police actioner The Shadow Play. Feb 13, 2019 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian [A] wildly overblown, overcomplicated drama that dissipates tension because it is always doubling back on itself and not achieving much impact with each of its narrative shifts. Rated: 2/5 Feb 12, 2019 Full Review Richard Yu Cinema Escapist The Shadow Play is not a movie that you kick back and watch on Netflix at the end of a long day; it's a film that requires involvement and thought on the part of the viewer. Nov 4, 2019 Full Review Lee Marshall Screen International A chaotic plot stumbles its way towards a feeble denouement. Feb 12, 2019 Full Review Rhys Handley One Room With A View Despite its tendency to fall into incomprehensibility and monotony, this Chinese state-approved schlockfest is a wildly inane, earnestly baffling thrill ride. Rated: 2/5 Feb 12, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
