Reviews of movies in all genres from a possibly discerning eye.
The film is brutal in both its action and the psychology of the men involved, and the story works as both a real tale and epic allegory — a fantastic movie.
Up the Yangtze is a beautiful visit with some young people starting in life with all the overconfidence and fears that entails mixed with a turbulent time.
Which is a shame because the movie had an excellent chance to make a statement had it been willing to go off the rails a little bit (pun intended) and put some shading on these characters.
