Newsweek

Crouching Tiger doesn't so much break new ground as reconfigure the genre with the pomp and ceremony of Western production values and psychological nuance.

The action plays out in a succession of ravishing set pieces, from moonlit rooftops to the whispering fronds of a bamboo forest.

Whether its ending is tragic or hopeful depends on your interpretation of events. It’s the perfect conclusion for a nearly perfect movie that is all about journeys and paths not taken, about love and all that stands in its way.

Rated: A

Akron Beacon Journal

There is something unworldly about [Tiger] that makes it seem like a story you imagined, not a film you watched on a screen. Somehow, the film is transcendent -- but in a completely straightforward manner. Quite simply, this is the year's best picture.

Rated: 4/4

Of course Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh but I'd forgotten how really excellent the fight choreography and direction is.

I appreciated the film more this viewing than I think I did 23 (?!) years ago when it was first released in U.S. theaters. Beautiful cinematography that can still wow today's jaded viewer, I think. Well crafted, gentle story of two loves gained and lost.
