The characters in this film are defined by motives that are small enough to be relatable, and actions that are big enough to be inspiring. Read full review

It’s Fang’s transformation, embodied by Ms. Zhou’s lean, cool authority, that carries the most weight, lending the proceedings an unforced feminist dimension, and reaffirming Ms. Hui’s status as one of China’s cinematic treasures. Read full review

Our Time Will Come sets itself in often-neglected, Japan-occupied Hong Kong, and offers a unique perspective on the war most commonly portrayed in film. Read full review

While the running time can weigh heavily on some of the sub-plots, the overall effect is as strong as Hui intended and the title underlines the bitter irony of the history involved. Read full review

Beyond the handful of obligatory escapades, gunfights and images of martyrdom, the film reveals itself as less a drama about extraordinary heroes than an illustration of life in a fallen city. Read full review

Zhou is fantastic as the schoolteacher-turned-rebel-leader; clearly not content to keep her head down, she’s always peering out of windows to get the lay of the land, even before she officially joins the movement. Read full review

By highlighting the value of artists and intellectuals, and the importance of protecting them, [Hui] imbues the authentic historical episode with timely universal relevance. Read full review

Interesting, not that entertaining. It's a good movie but it will not attract you if you aren't a little bit interested on the subject, the pace is slow and I think the lenght is overlong but it definitively a nice film.
