	Media	Author	Review
		John Berra Screendaily	"Its blend of styles and sensibilities may be occasionally confounding, but 'Full River Red' is certainly never less than entertaining in its richly inventive mining of history."
		James Marsh South China Morning Post	"While a visually ravishing blend of palace intrigue and knockabout humour, it struggles with inconsistent pacing (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Justin Chang Los Angeles Times	"The laughs and the corpses pile up in the Chinese blockbuster 'Full River Red'"
		Richard Kuipers Variety	"Zhang’s fast-paced film motors along nicely as an engaging 'Knives Out'-style whodunnit"
		Simon Abrams rogerebert.com	"Both style and substance are still deliberate and ruthlessly effective (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"[It] looks great, recalling the elaborate production design of Zhang’s previous hits 'Hero' and 'House of Flying Daggers'"
