History in fantasy trappings

I'm a fan of Ann Hui Movies, especially so when she depict history in a fantasied setting, always impossible scenarios that her protagonist survives to fight another day.Thoroughly enjoyed all the staged and properly framed parts that enhanced the whole. Never once is one ever disappointed and always being drawn into her takes as they are well done and truly unbelievable which is why they are so captivating even in dull moments.Looking forward to another fairy tale from the maestro of surreal drama. Bravo !

Not all that interesting for a non-Chinese audience

I'm all for a good war movie particularly when it is about a small revolutionary force against a powerful enemy, but Our Time Will Come really wasn't all that good. It simply lacks focus on the characters, so I never found myself getting emotionally engaged in their fight. There are certainly some people that are highlighted throughout the film, but none of them are a central figure for long enough. They also chop the film up into assorted vignettes rather than focusing on a central narrative with a clear goal and how they expect to achieve it. I'm not saying that it lacked accuracy, because I'm sure war can be like that, you merely hang in there and survive any given moment in order to make it to the next. But it didn't grab me as a film, with the exception of a few minor moments. In all honesty, I even struggled to keep track of who I was meant to be rooting for in some scenes, which is never a great experience in a war movie. I suppose to a Chinese audience Our Time Will Come might be a bit more impactful, but for me it was just bland.
